Saturday was beautiful so the cow and I strapped on our snow shoes and took a hike around Trillium lake. You might recognize the name of the lake because somewhere on this blog is a picture of what the lake looks like during the summer. During the winter it is white and quiet. It takes about an hour and 15 minutes to get to the sno-park from Portland. The vista points were truly amazing - the winter wonderland that the area has to offer. The trail was up and down, through a meadow and around the lake. We didn't realize we had been gone for so long until we returned to the car- 5 miles and three hours later. There are cabins you can hike into and it actually looked like they were being used. We dined on wraps, apples, and cookies on the shore of the lake. It was actually very comical. We had found a picnic table covered in snow. The cow plopped down on top of it while I fell between the top and the bench, low and behold there was a big hole under it with no snow. It took me a minute before I figured out how to get out. I had to ask for help or I would have been stuck there until the snow melted.
When we left the sno-park we headed up to Timberline Lodge for a cocktail. Stay tuned....more pictures and commentary of the Lodge.
