| no partners | | I was out for a snowshoe hike with my sister and brother-in-law on Camp 12 Road near their cabin in Leavenworth. When we got to the high point, they suggested we try an off-trail route they have done before in the summertime. I was game and we headed on up the adjacent ridge. The snow was less than ideal. It was alternately crusty on top, very soft and deep, or 4” of soft snow on top of an inch of ice.
Camp 12 Road is in Wenatchee National Forest and Washington DNR land, and part of this off-trail route extended onto private land. As the private land was recently logged, the views from the top are quite spectacular, including the Chumstick Valley and the Wenatchee River.
From the top, we headed down a ridge all the way back to Camp 12 Road. It is quite steep, and it was slow going with the ice underneath the top layer of snow. We made it back safely and congratulated ourselves for a morning of Type 2 fun. |
