Kendall Peaks Lake Road, Snoqualmie Pass, WA
Susan finally cajoled us to go snowshoeing in the Cascades for the first time since we got Bella over three years ago! We (Susan, Sara, Bella, and I) chose to start up the Kendall Peaks Lake Road knowing that we would not reach the lakes. We parked at the Gold Creek Snopark which was about as busy as a mall parking lot and got all gussied up. The road climbs the ridge on the west side of Gold Creek, eventually switchbacking up about 2000'. We made it to a switchback with a view of the valley, as well as the ski area before heading down. On our way down we took a side-trip along a relatively flat spur road with more solitude and views of the ski area. It took us just under 3 hours to complete the 4.25 mile trip. Bella really enjoyed running around in the snow, marking it often, and eating it often. I was teased mercilessly about my "pink hat" that I had bought on sale at REI the day before. The label said it was red!

Hi, I'm doing a college survey based upon various aspects of Walking & Hiking and I need to ask hikers from around the world to complete a short questionnaire. There are several themes including hiking partner. I'm using this site (hiking partner) to contact hikers, do you know of any other ways to do this?
Many thanks
