Mount Rose — Sunday, Dec. 23, 2012

Olympic Peninsula > Hood Canal

We have hiked Mount Rose many times... but this is the first time we strapped our snowshoes on at the trailhead (yes there is a lot of snow up there!). The road to the trailhead required 4 wheel drive after the pavement ends. Was a tough climb. We were breaking snow starting at about 2500 feet and it just got deeper and tougher towards the summit. The snow on the trees was absolutely amazing. Awesome day.
