Pocket Creek snowshoe
6 miles of hiking • 1000' elevation gain •
Nice snowshoe hike in a wooded forest, a mix of wide roadbed and narrow trails. A couple of viewpoints, though the mountain didn't quite cooperate. Good snowfall amounts, more than I've seen in years.

Bluebird day at Paradise
5.5 miles of hiking • 2750' elevation gain •
An incredibly beautiful day snowshoeing the slopes of Mt Rainier. We traveled up to Panorama Pt, then beyond to a traverse below McClure Rock and into a large bowl east of Paradise. Conditions were pretty much perfect, even a bit warm. Hard crust on top of powder, avalanche danger was moderate.
