Hopefully we will have Snow - so Let’s Go Snowshoeing, Caroling, and Drink Hot Chocolate!!

So far the weather should be ok to snowshoe and drive. We will provide a better weather report the day before OR maybe a closer in site if necessary and if you need spikes versus snowshoes. We will meet at 8:15am to carpool from Wooly Mammoth Parking Lot BB at I-70 exit 259 to Idaho Springs and then 12 miles up CO 103. Driving mileage about 70 miles. Cold bathrooms are available at the TH.

We will snowshoe/use spikes from Echo Mountain Stone Pavilion past Echo Lake then join Resthouse Meadows Trail up to the top and then down (620 feet elevation gain, 4.4 miles round trip). Down again at the Stone Pavilion at Echo Lake, Frank Burzynski will fire up his camping stove for hot chocolate, his wife Cathy will lead us in a few carols (don’t worry Sue Henley will bring the words).
