Snowshoeing Mount Hood
I think I’m discovering a new favorite winter sport: snowshoeing! I’ve only gone once before thanks to the invitation of my friend Dan who lives at the base of Mt. Hood. That was two winters ago when we first went, so it was well overdue for another adventure in the snow and this time we chose the aptly named snowshoe trail starting at Timberline Lodge.
While we packed gear for foul weather, we ended up in a light jacket or shirt soaking up the sun.
It is especially rewarding to know that a finished hike means sitting around the fire in the lodge sipping on a favorite beverage, or filling your belly with expensive tasty food.
