Nordic Pass - Hyak — Saturday, Feb. 1, 2020

Attempted this snowshoe but had to turn around partway through. Blue diamond markers were visible, but we were unable to cross the stream at the start (as we should have been able to do) due to the snow trail being washed out from several days of rain this week. We hiked alongside the stream for a while until we came to a bridge to cross over. We didn’t trust our dog to safely cross so we turned around. Hypothetically, you should be able to cross over here and find the blue diamonds to continue the trail to the lake. This was confirmed as we took our snowshoes off at the trailhead and talked with a local resident walking by. Wouldn’t recommend unless you’re prepared for a longer (and possibly wetter) trek than planned. Snow was not as well packed as we had hoped. Ee did also see some cross-country skiers start the trail slightly before us and they seemed all right on that trail.
