Cooper River Snowshoe — Tuesday, Mar. 1, 2022

Decided to do a river snowshoe since avalanche danger was high. We drove to where 903 is not plowed and started our snowshoe there. We ended up using gaia to make it to Cooper River TH. It is about 2 miles from parking lot. We snowshed a bit along the river, but the snow was high on the banks and no boot pack to follow. Had lunch along the river and returned. On the way back we checked out the Salmon la Sac campground, which was very snowy. We needed snowshoes the whole time. The snow was soft and heavy at the same time, a work out with every step. When we were almost at the car, we saw a grooming machine tend to the pass. The hike should be much easier after the grooming.
