I led my second Saturday Snowshoe of the season for the Cascadians on this snowy day to the Cooper River Trail. We snowshoed the 1/2 mile or so along the groomed road through the Salmon la Sac campground to the trailhead and then about 2 miles up the trail. The trail was compact & obvious the entire way with perhaps an inch of new snow on it. It snowed most of the day from low clouds, but the forest was beautiful. We heard a few snowmobiles going up the Cooper River Road across the valley, but only saw two other snowshoers on the trail. I was a little disappointed that the only nice views of the Cooper River were in the first 200 yards or so of the trailhead, but it was a great snowshoe, nonetheless.
