2019 Rainier Snowshoe Trip

Our 2019 Mt. Rainier snowshoe trip marked the 2nd year in a row that we had (mostly) clear weather and great views! No blizzard conditions since 2017. Here are some great pics, and congratulations to all of our new Junior Rangers! More photos are available in the OAC Photography Album:

Snowshoe trip update: shutdown due to shutdown!

UPDATE: Sorry to have to convey some bad news: we will not be going this Saturday due to uncertainties about whether or not the road will be opening in time for us Saturday AM. This is a direct consequence of the recent government shutdown. Park crews have been working to prepare the roads and hope to have them ready by Saturday, but the ranger I spoke to could not guarantee anything. So, rather than getting the vans organized and risk being turned around at the gate, we will reschedule the trip for MARCH 2nd.

If you can go March 2nd, you don't need to do anything. We'll just change the date on the paperwork and you're good to go. If you can't go on March 2nd, please let me know. Thanks!
