Skyline Lake Snowshoe

For her 22nd birthday, Mia wanted to go on a showshoe, so she and Mike drove up early in the morning to Steven's Pass and hiked into Skyline Lake.  At the lake, they noticed several people on an precarious cornice above and outcrop of rocks above the lake.  They explored the ridge leading to the summit,  and made it as far as the rock garden, where snow covered boulders were strewn across the landscape.  At this point, however, they they felt like the conditions were a little too sketchy to continue.

Here is an album of photos that show the winter wonderland we enjoyed on our hike.
