Snowshoeing at Yellow Jacket, Feb 7th

This is one of the classic more advanced snowshoe trails in Mount Hood. You may recall I did this same trail last year. As the other time, we had a fantastic day full of sun and warm weather. Contrary to last time though, we didn’t have as much snow. This winter we had a huge storm in December but after that, almost nothing. Most of the trail was very compacted snow to the point that snowshoes were almost unnecessary. Trail and views were as beautiful as expected so we hiked up to the same spot we did last year to have lunch with a beautiful view of Mount Hood. Right after lunch, we spent some time sliding down the hill before heading back. Being blessed with a very warm day, snow became really slushy on the way back but it was still very nice.
