Kettle Crest South, Sherman Peak Loop — Saturday, Jan. 13, 2018

Eastern Washington > Okanogan Highlands/Kettle River Range
Sunlight and shadow on the snow

8 Spokane Mountaineers hiked on snowshoes around Stephens Peak in eastern Washington.  It had snowed earlier in the week, so we were breaking trail through about a foot of new snow. We took turns breaking trail, so it wasn’t too difficult for any one hiker.  Other than a couple of sections, it was easy to follow the trace of the trail left behind from before the storm.

We had a lovely day, cloudy in the morning, followed by brilliant sunshine in the afternoon. One tree across the trail was difficult to navigate, there were others buried in the snow which I couldn’t see, but if felt them as we hiked over them.
