Big Springs Snowshoe

If we get lucky and still have enough snow, we will take advantage of our Chemeketan trail maintenance efforts that successfully restored the Big Springs Snow Park.  We will piece together a number of recently opened trails to do a mostly flat easy snowshoe.  I have several loaner pairs of snowshoes and poles.  Call ahead to reserve.  Plan on stopping on the way home for a bite to eat.
