The Empty Nest Hiking Club went snowshoeing up at Mt Hood Saturday. We decided to go on the Trillium Lake trail. According to our snowshoe book, it's a 5 mile loop that, at the approximate midpoint, features a picture postcard view of Mt Hood from across a frozen lake. It was a beautiful day with blue skies, and we were ready for the spectacular view with my camera and Hubby's camcorder. Only one problem. When we got to "the spot", a huge bank of clouds had rolled in, obscuring the view of the mountain. And the clouds decided to stay put for the remainder of the day.
Aaargh!
Even so, it was still a pretty trail and we had a lot of fun.

Another great outting for the ENHC!
wow you fit woman you! next time... next time you'll have the incredible view!
The mountain's probably just taking a union break. Next time, like HCL said.
I like you and daddo's face and the igloo!
The igloo was impressive! (And the people were friendly -- they invited us for cheese and crackers but we kept on snow-shoein') :)
oh, a missed shot...but an opportunty for another hike....
Gorgeous, even without the gorgeous view.
PS: I tagged you for a silly meme...
... and the case of the missing picture (all I get is blue space) glad for words saying you had another good hike anyway
I turned up the volume on my computer with a smile on my face before clicking to start the show :)
