Pics - 2-25-11 - Darrington, WA
hit up Darrington for some snow! when the snow got too deep for comfort in the truck we strapped on some snowshoes and went for the top of the mountain on foot.

Deep snow.. had to park the truck a little early...
Alright, now I have a minute to add pictures here...
The turn onto NF24. The tracks ahead only went to the first turn uphill about 200yds away.. they turned around.
Got here about 8:30
Ended up cutting away five trees... here was the first
Cut another...
And another...
one more time...
Smooth sailing from here
starting to get pretty deep
getting deeper... some good views from here
more snow
Brr
time to park...
setting off on foot... still a long ways to go... we made it to the Y for 2420
too many switchbacks... lets go straight up :dizzy:
finally some views!
pristine snow
The views... didn't want to leave!
heading back down

thanks. yeah we snowshoed a few miles past where we parked, took most of the day. I wasn't worried about being the only rig.. I had service on my phone to call my friend if I needed to. I go out a lot by myself, I just make sure to let my wife know which road I head up in case I don't come back, she can call my friend to come pull me out. Never had to call anyone getting stuck in the snow though...

Killer pics!! I would never go snow wheelin alone lol. I always prefer to have another vehicle along for the ride. I would at least have some tire chains haha.

Still say cool trip. I'd do it solo rig. Really your safety plan is very feasible, "party on Garth"
