Snow Hiking Huckleberry Creek

We headed up Sunday to hike Huckleberry Creek Trail while the trailhead was still accessible. We arrived to snow at the small parking area and headed up the trail.

There was 6-12 inches of good walking snow on the trail. Our first blowdown was not far past the Patrol shelter just inside the National Park boundary. It was easy to get over and we cruised along until we hit the next blowdown at 4 miles in.

That blowdown would have been easy enough to go under, but we had elected to snack and then head back down. We decided to heat up some cocoa at the Patrol cabin before the last mile or so back to the car.

The way down had the snow turning to a cold rain and the snow in the trees creating an active rain drizzle. That made the covered area at the Patrol Cabin a welcome oasis for our cocoa making.

We finished our treat and made the last mile without incident. If you go you should know there are many log bridges that are tricky with snow and ice.

Be very well and more soon....
