Gold Pond and Gold Creek Trail Snowshoe

 There was fresh snow up at Snoqualmie Pass today, so we decided to give our snowshoes a workout. We parked on Lake Mardee Road where it meets NFR 144, and snowshoed up the road to Gold Creek Pond and snowshoed around the lake.

There are some small islands in the pond.

On the north side of the pond, there is a small promontory you can walk out on. Panorama from the promontory on the north side:

 Then, we snowshoed up the closed FSR to a smaller pond that has a trail going around it (0.3 miles)









The only prints we saw here, were animal prints.

Than we continued up the FSR to Gold Creek Trail. We only hiked a short way up today.

 We enjoyed the snow covered landscape and were surprised not see any other people on this hike today.

 WE snowshoed back along this creek on the east side of Gold Creek Pond.

Another beautiful day outside!
