Snowshoe camping Mazama Ridge, Mount Rainier

February 20 - 21, 2005

We seized an uncharacteristically gorgeous weekend in February for a overnight snowshoe trip at Mount Rainier National Park.

winter_rainier_3: Complete silence at evening. Only hours before a fox visited our campsite while we slept and "marked his territory" (aka "peed") on our snowshoes and tent.
