Washington Trails Association It's time to clean off those snowshoes and skis and head into our
wintery weather! But before you do, take the time to be prepared for
all conditions.

There is no need to feel all cabin feverish when you live in Washington. It may be rainy in the lowlands, but it is wonderfully snowy up high. Snowshoeing and cross country skiing options abound. And with a bit of pre-planning, you can clear your head with an invigorating day in the snow.

Washington Trails Association The West Tiger Mountain trails are some of the best places to hike this time of year. Choose the route described in our Hiking Guide or consult your map and make your own adventure. Note that there can be snow on the trail, especially at the summits, so be prepared or stay at low elevations.

Follow Tiger Mountain's finest old rail line while exploring some of the wildest and remotest stands of forest remaining on the mountain.

Yes, I have seen much work by them in Capitol Forest, where the mountain biker associations also are quite active. No wilderness here, but accessibility and the pleasures of the regenerating forest.

Colorful aspens still dotted Umtanum Canyon a week ago. This hike near Ellensburg is a little known gem and one the best hikes in spring and fall for spotting wildlife, including big horn sheep.

The goat and the climber-very clever and it wasn't staged. After that, I would pick the snake.

It's a mid-week day in November, but if you're game, next Wednesday is a great day to head out to the woods to check the new-fallen snow. In other news to file away until the spring, the Mt. Baker-Snoqualmie National Forest has completed repairs on the Cascade River Road.

Don't get the whole fee-free on 11th. Why couldn't they do that on weekend?
