After reading Mytho-man's many Eastern Washington trip reports, my son and I decided to to head for Umtanum Creek Canyon (thanks Mytho-man) for a multi-night excursion. Umtanum Creek trail is mostly level for the entire three miles into the canyon, a very pleasant walk. We pushed up the canyon about 4 miles until there was too much underbush to get through. We found a great place besides Umtanum Creek and set up camp for the night. We were enjoying our freeze dried dinners when it began to snow, our 30% chance I guess, lol! It was absolutely beautiful. What an awesome feeling to enjoy a hot dinner while watching the snow lightly fall. We bedded down for the night wondering what it would look like in the morning. During the night we could hear the snow gently falling on the rainfly and then slide off as it got to heavy.
See March 22 entry for what it looked like....
