![]() ![]() Castle Peak snowshoeing, Nov 22-23 2004John and Lisa were visiting from the east coast, and were desperately missing real mountains, so we decided to give snowshoeing a try. Snow conditions were decent for this early in the season (we didn't wear snowshoes the first day, but did need them the second). Andesite Peak, with Castle Peak in the background![]()
Snow was a little sparse on the south-facing slopes, but sometimes quite deep and soft on the north/leeward sides![]()
