When I got to LH there was a tent set up in the parking lot. It was nearing the end of a trail run and they said there were only a couple runners left. I never saw any runners and as usual, only saw a couple of hikers and a few mountain bikers. 

I wore my winter hiking boots. Kept my feet warm and dry and gave all the traction I needed in the soft, sometimes slushy snow. 

It rained, it shined, it was the perfect dose of fresh air. 

Just a head's up that the trail system has a lot of very slippery compact snow and ice. Tried walking this morning and turned around after 1/4 mile and several near falls. Would be fine with micro spikes.

I want to thank the wonderful snowshoers who blazed a trail for us hikers this morning! My friend and I were able to navigate the narrow paths and do about 3 miles from the North Entrance. The parking lot has about 8 to 10 inches of snow as does the equestrian entrance. If you have snowshoes, I would recommend them, but we did okay in our waterproof hiking boots. Fun morning in the snow!
