Snowshoeing On Mt Rainier
Yesterday a group of 22 guys from Believer’s Fellowship church here in Gig Harbor took a snowshoeing trip up to Mount Rainier. What a blast! It’s amazing to live in a place like Gig Harbor, surrounded by the water and all the beauty that the Puget Sound has to offer, and yet in less than 2 hours we were up on Mt. Rainier snowshoeing!
When we got to the mountain, it was snowing gently. Not a snow storm, but a nice gentle snow. As we began hiking in to Reflection Lake (a fairly short, easy hike), the sun shown through and made for a perfect day!
These gray jays aren’t shy at all. We sat down on the lake to enjoy lunch, and these guys come swooping in from all over the place and will eat right out of your hand.
We finished the day by sliding down the hill to the parking lot. What a rush! Click the image below for a quick photo tour of our day.

Matt,
Great slide show, great fun at the hike too. I hope you didn’t get upset by my realtor comment :). Great job on the web site - see you at church.

A wonderful experience for all, I think. Thankyou for posting the pictures. Easy you say? Maybe for you but wheezy for me.
