Hyak Snow Camp

I camped overnight in the Cascade Mountains this weekend with three others. Lots of snow, probably 5-6 feet on the ground, and it snowed about 6 inches while we were there. The tree limbs droop a lot with the weight of the snow on them.

As camping goes, snow camping is pretty, clean (no mud), but not entirely dry.

Snowshoes are needed to travel anywhere but on the main trails or right in camp. Even with snow shoes, I sank in about two feet with my pack on my back. The little kid sank in about 6 inches with no pack.
