Finally my first snow shoeing adventure. We went to Trillium Lake which in the summer is probably one of the most visited spots in the Mount Hood area. In the winter is the same thing. The lake gives you a great view of the mountain and is big enough for small boats and to spend the day. During winter all the roads are closed and reserved for cross country skiing and snow shoeing. The nice thing about that is that the trail is really wide and very difficult to miss. One of the most interesting things about this trip was learning that in winter you can get disoriented really easy. With everything being white and snow changing the shape of things, you can get off track in no time. We took the main route to the lake and circle it to get to the dock where we stopped for a little snack. Unluckily the day was not very clear but enough to take some nice pictures. After that we decided to circle the lake on our way back. That trail is not very well marked and at some point we ended walking snow/ice over water. That was our cue to turn back and slowly get out of there, not before taking those nice pictures at the end of the album.

Thanks for being the group photographer for those of us without cameras. I love photos, but don't like to carry a camera, ha! Some great shots will remind all of us of our great winter outing.
