Two Trips

Pictures from snowshoeing trip to the Mount Tahoma Tails Association High Hut (March 14-17) as well as pictures from spring break (March 27-April 5).

Snow on Bainbridge, almost none.  Snow on Mt. Tahoma (near Mt. Rainier) 8 feet.

There were supposed to be groomed trails, but the groomer had a flat and was stuck at the trailhead.

SPRING BREAK
