28 Feb '08. An eagerly anticipated snowshoe hike after a fresh snowfall in the mountains and yet another overly intense workweek... The sun did not cooperate, but we still had a good time. We met a couple of other parties at the trailhead and up the mountain. Everyone seemed to be looking for the right trail, including us. We ended up approaching the peak from a lower ridge on the west side, which was a little longer but not as steep as the 'summer trail', which is (probably!) the one we used to get back.
