Boulder Field in the Snow








We welcomed several guests who brought us to 14 who followed elk tracks through the boulder field and then onto Million Lake. The nippy temperature (about 0ºF) was ameliorated by the sun and the uphill start.

Penny's daughter Shannon, Linda's sister Tammy, the Roquemores, and the Johnsons enriched their Christmas visits with a pleasant walk through bright sunshine and pine shadows. We even found an exposed
and dry spread of needles for an early lunch.

The next holiday snowshoeing event will be close to South Fork on next Monday. Meet at the Visitor Center before 10 a.m. departure. Bring a snack or lunch. No pets, please. We'll end the hike with coffee at Blimpie's near Rainbow Grocery.
