Snowshoe 1/30 Smith Brook Valley
We started right along US2, about 3 miles east of Stevens Pass


Recent clear cold nights have caused thick layers of frost to accumulate on surfaces


Nason Creek is crossed on a road bridge right at the beginning of Smith Brook Road.


Easy snowshoeing on a packed down track on Smith Brook Road


Ventured off-road to find Smith Brook


Found a pleasant clearing by the creek (brook) for our lunch break.


Getting down close to the babbling brook


Smith Brook in it's winter cloak


All sorts of intricate patterns in the ice and snow.


I was especially enthralled by an almost perfect circle of ice, seen here


I could stand on thick ice built up in Smith Brook and look up- and downstream


Snow creature smiled as we walked by


Making our way gently back down the road


Heading back, with Arrowhead Mountain above


Examining the delicate frost formations


Nason Creek, right next to the highway.
