Another snow storm rolled through to add about 4 to 6 inches to the base on the rim. We decided to snowshoe Knoll Lake from the Tonto Fish Hatchery. Not much accumulation on the fish hatchery road or lower trail so we stared out hiking. Once on the rim the snow was deeper but hard packed and still able to hike all the way to FR 300. After that we snowshoed rest of the way to the lake. The drainage leading down to the lake still had that winter wonderland look and was the highlight of the day. At the lake we found a good spot for lunch and enjoyed a beverage. The sun was out most of time which made it pleasant to hang out. After lunch we headed back the same way following our tracks. More clouds rolled in as the afternoon wore on which made for dramatic clouds hiking off the rim. Great day of snowshoeing. The rim always provides a great show in the winter!
