Snow Hike to Merrill Lake
Yesterday on 4-12-08 was a nice summer-like day. I drove to Cougar, WA with my camera and hiking boots and decided to check out Merrill Lake. I ended up hiking about 3 miles through the snow (uphill both ways, of course).
I did not see anyone else on the whole time, but there were cars parked with their snowmobile trailers.
Someone did a nice parking job. That tree probably saved their life. If it wasn’t there, they surely would have rolled downhill a couple thousand feet to the bottom of the canyon.
