Mailbox Peak - Old Trail — Saturday, Dec. 9, 2000

Snoqualmie Region > North Bend Area

Since the roads looked a bit icy, and our group head out kinda late, we chose Mailbox as our alternative destination today. There was a bit of snow at the trailhead. At about 1500' above the trailhead it started accumulating deeper, but never very deep until we broke out of the trees way up high. We donned snowshoes, but it's still relatively easy walking all the way to the summit. Watch out for those air pockets in the boulderfield though! Snowshoes helped us dodge those mines. The mailbox is still out of the snow and full of mail!
