Pend Oreille County Park — Friday, Nov. 13, 2020

With the day off and several inches of fresh snow on the ground, I headed out for an early morning hike. I packed my snowshoes in the car but with only 6" on the ground, I decided to leave them. The dogs and I did the Big Sky Loop for a ~4.5 mi hike. The trail is brushy in places and I was glad to be wearing Goretex pants. I forgot my raincoat and was soaked on the top but nice and dry on the bottom. It snowed the whole way and the was close to 8" on the ground by the time I was done. I saw no one on the trail. I didn't need any traction devices at the time but with freeze and thaw happening, I bet it's slippery just a few days after.
