I joined a friend to celebrate her 101st hike of the year by going up Mt Si in North Bend. We probably hiked about 1/2 way up before finding the trail slippery and using our microspikes.
I enjoyed the dusting of snow over the forest.
The trail wasn't crowded today, and the snow made the forest quiet.
Along the way, there is a parting in the trees and we could see down into the valley below.
I enjoy forest walks. Lots of interesting textures, highlighted by the snow.
Icicles dripping off old logs.
These little snowmen seemed to be wishing us a Happy New Year!
Very limited visibility on top.
The rocks were easier to climb with the snow on them.
Even without a view, the snow created a lovely landscape. (pano)
There were lots of gray jays flying around.
