This snowshoe is a club favorite as CONC was primarily responsible for getting this shelter erected several years ago. The trail is easy and very scenic.

Meet Up Location Information: Skyline Park is located at 19617 Mountaineer Way, across from Cascade Junior High. The Google directions are a bit misleading, be sure to turn onto Mountaineer Way, pass the entrance on the right to Seven Peaks School; Skyline Park's first parking area is the next right after that. There is a porta-potty in the parking area. Leader is driving a periwinkle blue Subaru Forester.
Carpooling: Carpooling can be arranged at the meeting place. If you ride with someone, please donate to their gas fund. Be generous for obvious reasons.
