Solo Snowshoeing

Bennet Pass Trail
Suz took Tuesday off and we went back to the Mt Hood area. She went snowboarding, but I don't do that. So I went to the Bennet Pass Trail to snowshoe. This was my first solo hike in I-can't-remember-how-long. Went about 4.5 miles total in around 2 hours. and there was hardly a soul in sight. Passed two cross-country skiers on their way out and a couple walking their dog once I was nearly back to the parking lot. The weather was very nice- at least on the Mt. Hood side of the trail. On the Badger Wilderness area it was fast moving fog with a light rain. [...]

The trail is apparently a gravel Jeep trail. There was 55+
inches of snow when I went out.

Curious about what makes these holes. No one was home.

Waiting at the bottom of Mt Hood Meadows. The clouds would
occasionally obscure the view of the top before rolling by.
