Edith Creek Basin Snowshoe — Wednesday, Dec. 2, 2020

Mount Rainier Area > SW - Longmire/Paradise

We had to take advantage of the bluebird day so we spent some time snowshoeing up at Edith Creek Basin. We actually stopped just below the final ascent to the top, but had great views from where we were. Ran into some other snowshoers and skiers in the area, but Paradise was, by no means, crowded (it was a Wednesday after all).

This is a great easy snowshoe trail and the snow is nice and deep from the start. But make sure you're aware of avalanche zones and the forecast. Edith Creek is in the vicinity of several avalanche prone areas and we saw some people that were going right through the danger zone.
