A gorgeous day for snowshoeing in the Cascades! Not much snow on the trail from Barlow Pass to Monte Cristo village. It is doable even without gaiters, but I got these new REI snowshoes and I just had to use them. Both the vehicle bridge and foot bridge are out, but I crossed the river on the I-beam (see photo). No blowdowns, easy hiking. Wonderful mountain views. I am hungry to get up to Gothic Basin!
