Linda and I snowshoe hiked to the summit of Chief Mountain (11,709 ft). It was a gorgeous blue sky winter day. The snowshoe was steep, with easy route finding.
We had a lot of fun coming back a different way. We plunged through knee deep powder in the backcountry and summited a nearby peak which Linda had not done before. It was a nice day to be in the mountains. Linda did awesome, which is why she has such a big smile in the pictures!
The Chief Mountain Trailhead. Park right by this old ski lift!
Across the street from the ski lift is the trail. Here’s Linda ready to hike.

Snowshoeing is great cross training for trail running!
