Got back from a great (but tough) snowshoe trip- day one was 14 miles and close to 6000' gain, just bivied up in meadow under a couple of big Doug Fir's; day two was 18 miles and about 4000' of gain. Saw quite a few deer (surprisingly given the snow), including a bachelor herd of six bucks. Saw a couple of bull elk bedded on an opposite ridge- wolf tracks and lion tracks sprinkled here and there.

We were supposed to do one more night at a Forest Service cabin, but by the time we hit the second trailhead we were close to four -five hours behind and near dark, so we hoofed it back down the road to the original trailhead and called it good- hit the York bar for burgers and beer a couple hours after dark
