walter...

thank you once again.

We snow shooed into Walter's cabin in the 10th Division Mountain System again this spring break. The kids once again plowed through the 2.7 mile hike in with about 1000 feet in elevation gain. This year however we had the added bonus of snow...a lot of snow! The hike in was in a complete blizzard (hence the no photos) and when we arrived we were greeted with 10 foot snow drifts.

We spent many hours in front of the gas stove to warm us up (turned out to be the most popular place in the hut).

We stole moments of lighter snow outside to make snow caves.

We passed the time with mountain snow cones,icicle hunting and


many many games of uno and war.









A wonderful wonderful few nights in the wintery snow filled solitude of Walter's Cabin.
