I decided to start the new year off on the right foot by going for an evening snowshoe all around Mt. Spokane State Park and over the summit before returning to my car. I estimate the mountain has recieved a little over 3 feet of new snow in the past few weeks. Trail 130 from the Snowmobile Parking lot led up to the Bald Knob Summer Picnic Area and then over to the CCC Lodge. There were no other hikers or snowmobilers out that night so I took trail 135 to the summit of Mt. Spokane and decended the mountain just to the west of the B-29 ski run, making sure to not interfere with the groomed runs. Then back to the Bald Knob area and the car. The views of Spokane, the Spokane Valley, and Colbert were quite amazing.
