Photos from November 19, 2011 Snowshoe Trip on new routes Bellingham, WA: Whatcom Events is working with REI (Recreational Equipment Inc.) and the Mount Baker Club in establishing more snowshoe routes and events in Whatcom County. Last year a new snowshoe route was established leading from White Salmon Road to the lower trail system around Razor Hone Road. Over the next few months, the groups plan to complete a second route. This will allow snowshoers to start at White Salmon Road, travel down to the Razor Hone Creek Recreation Bridge, and come back up a different route to complete the loop. The new loop will be approximately 2 miles long. |

| NEW SNOWSHOE ROUTES The new snow-routes connecting the upper White Salmon Road and the lower Snowpark reestablish a purely recreational connection that has not existed since 1927. Work party volunteers will have the opportunity to thoroughly investigate these new routes before the coming snow season. Additionally, participants will gain insight into the underlying terrain that will not be possible once snowfall blankets the area. Winter safety and concerns for varying snow conditions and potential difficulties over various segments of the new routes will be discussed. Every work party will experience some combination of intimate and scenic views including beautiful waterfalls, majestic old-growth forest, magnificent trees, interesting geologic formations, mountain peaks and wild river valleys. The Mount Baker Club has established this loop, and several brushing parties are planned to place signs, trim tree branches and get the trails ready for snow. These are light-duty trail brushing parties . Click Here to Download New Snowshoe Trail Map |
