Hex Mountain Snowshoe, Hex Mountain — Monday, Jan. 20, 2020

This is a great little hike with some lovely views. The road is snow covered at the trailhead, and you'll have to park along Salmon La Sac Road. The snow on the road isn't bad, but just be aware of the thin coating of snow/ice. The trail is completely snow covered from the start. There is a well-tracked path all the way up to the summit. The snow is so packed down along this route, that you don't even need snowshoes. I did use snowshoes on my ascent, and they where useful due to their traction, but on the way down I just walked in boots, and I only postholed a few times. Boots with microspikes should be sufficient for current snow conditions, but I can't say how long that will be the case. The trail is well packed and easy to follow, so navigation shouldn't be an issue. There where plenty of other people I encountered on the way down, so it is still seeing plenty of use from snowsho-ers and ski tour-ers both. Overall this is a nice, low avalanche risk, winter hike, that has some great summit views.
