Santiam snowshoe
It was a mild day. February isn’t supposed to be “mild”. It’s supposed to be cold, stormy. The time of the year when the indoor chores get done. Not this year in Central Oregon. We have had a lot of sunny days with relatively mild daytime temperatures. On one of these days, we took a snowshoe hike in the area of the Santiam Pass on the Willamette National Forest. We found a land of textures, glare and shadows between Mt. Washington and Three Fingered Jack. Here’s a visual summary of our Santiam snowshoe.
