Mileage: 3.5  1,00 EG

This one we knew we had to arrive bright and early as it shares the same parking lot as Steven's Pass Ski Resort. We arrived sometime after 8:30 donned our many, many layers of clothes and headed out. This hike is a short (steep) 1.5 miles to the lake and then we continued on to the ridge line about another quarter mile up. We stopped at the top to take in the views, snack, and then it was quick to get going again as stoping movement froze us. I'm really loving winter here so far and show shoeing. I do miss the ease and warmth of summer. There is something to be said with experiencing the 4 seasons in the mountains and all the extremes. You can't appreciate one without the other.
