Cooper River Snowshoe — Saturday, Jan. 22, 2011

Snoqualmie Region > Salmon La Sac/Teanaway

The road up to Salmon La Sac still had a sheen of thin ice the last few miles from the camp ground around 9:30 am, but just taking it slow was just what was needed to keep from sliding. There was a lot of snowmobile activity at the end of the road but they broke off to the right and the snowshoe trail was just our hiking group. The trail was a bit difficult to find at times but we had route finders. There were a few obstacles-a large fallen tree with ice on it and a couple streams that were shallow enough to wade through. Our turn around, and lunch, was just north of Cooper Lake. Overall there was about two and a half to three feet of snow. Enjoy views of the river along the route and snow formations.
