Annette Lake — Friday, Dec. 21, 2012

Snoqualmie Region > Snoqualmie Pass

Snow began before the forest road so we started snowshoeing before the trailhead. Passed a few groups of fellow hikers/snowshoers on a well-defined snowshoe trail until we reached about 3200' where the trail was lost. We turned around as the others had before us and set up camp for the night--the snow was very deep and it would be too much work for our dog to try to continue. According to our GPS, we were about half-way to Annette Lake. Avalanche danger risk was moderate and the weather was beautiful--no rain! Winter navigation skills and snowshoes highly recommended.
