Today we snowshoed the Cooper River Road for about 4 miles RT. This makes a good, easy outing on a wide road that gets snowmobiled enough to break trail but not too much. We saw just 5 machines today, all of the riders friendly and respectful of us slow muscle-powered folks. The grade is gently uphill in this road for the first 3 miles. I know that from biking it in the summer for the past almost 50 years. After this long hill, it rolls up and down for a couple of more miles to the Cooper Lk turnoff. The scenery was spectacularly wintery and beautiful. This makes a good trip for all abilities, and we do it and other local roads up the Cle Elum Valley every year.
