Fagin's Snowshoe of the Week: Stevens Pass

Updated: March 16, 2018 This is a great snowshoe trip with compact snow. This is a shorter trip of 3.5 miles, roundtrip but you will get a good workout. If you are looking for something else to do there is the very popular Skyline Lake tour  Parking at Stevens Pass can be tricky ( very popular area) so going on a weekday is best or very early start on the weekend to get parking.
