First Creek Snowshoe

Yesterday Lois Fite and I parked at the Recreation Center, snowshoed to First Creek at the end of Woodland Park, climbed the hill just west of First Creek, then snowshoed the beach back to the car.   With the 30 mph winds from the west the wind chill was around 5. 

It was tricky to get down the steps.

I took a photo of the steps going to the beach, but we went straight and went across the foot bridge up the hill.

Up the hill....

Looking back down the hill....

The beach....Notice the lake effect clouds.

 

Waves and blowing snow....
