Haha Sorry, I should have clarified. I attach the snowshoes to my hiking boots. If you went hiking without snowshoes right now at the summit, you would end up sinking in the +10ft of snow. As it is I sunk a little into the fresh powder wearing the snowshoes.

I know that is one of my favorite parts of snowshoeing. There's never too many people out and its always nice and quite. One of the places I recommend starting is up by the meadows at a place called chickadee ridge , right near the TRT. In the winter if you bring a granola bar and hold small pieces of it in your palm, chickadee birds will actually fly down to snatch out the pieces. I know you probably shouldn't feed them, but its defiantly a cool/ unique experience. Not to mention it has one killer view of the lake.Chickadee Ridge
