Saturday we had a lazy start to the day, slept in until about 8am! May not sound early but man work has been requiring early starts and late nights. On our way out of town we picked up Natasha, sadly Jacob had to work, but having Natasha's company was great! We hadn't seen Natasha in over three weeks, much too long. We drove about 6 miles east of Steven's Pass(1hr 45 min drive), parked near the start of Smith Brook Road and headed out into the woods to try and find Lake Valhalla. I say try to find because the directions in our book were not clear and we were not bent on having a destination so we didn't bring a map. We did use Natasha's GPS a few times to make sure we were heading in the right direction, which we were, but never actually made it to the lake. We snowshoed for about 3.5 hours, covered at least 6 miles, and thoroughly exhausted Lily, a perfect day!
Washington Trail Association Website, - provided the details of the hike and directions on how to get to the trailhead.
