Snowshoeing Mount Spokane

"He giveth snow like wool"

On January 25 one of our sons was staying with us and finishing up some remodeling work on our home.  We decided to take a day off and go snowshoeing at Mount Spokane State Park.  Mount Spokane lies to the northeast of the city of Spokane and is the highest peak in the area at 5883 feet.  It is about an hour's drive from our home.

We found a place to park near the ski resort and headed up the trail, but found that it was so very foggy that we could see little and were in danger of losing our way, especially since we were not familiar with the area or the trails.  After snowshoeing an hour or so we headed back home, a bit disappointed but thankful for the excursion. 

Stanley Park, Vancouver (Part 2, Autumn Color)

The autumn color in Stanley Park was magnificent when we were there and the fog and light made things even more spectacular.  These are a few of the pictures we took of the autumn color.

Driving out of the park at the end of the day we stopped along the road to take pictures of the sunlight shining through the trees and the fog, another unforgettable moment in a wonderful day.
