Snowshoe Mount Hood

Over a foot of fresh powder and blue skies made for a fantastic day of snowshoeing on Mount Hood. Folks from the Portland Business Alliance enjoyed a fun romp around Government Camp on a custom snowshoe tour organized by Next Adventure and led by guides from NW Discoveries.

There are several Snow*Park trailheads right in Govie. Starting near the Thunderhead Lodge, fresh trail had to be broken leading up and along the Crosstown trail.

After enjoying spectacular views of Mt. Hood, we tromped back down the Glade trail back into town.

Back in Govie, we headed to the Huckleberry Inn, where we were treated to hearty lunch, topped off with their famous huckleberry pie.

Then it was back out for another snowshoe tour. Though some stayed in town and tried sledding.
At any rate, everyone ended up at Charlie's in Government camp to warm up before the ride back to town.

Thanks to everyone who made this event possible: Tubbs donated snowshoes, RAZ transportation supplied the bus, and everyone pulled together to make this a great event.
