A very cold and blustery snowshoe adventure on Mt. Hood up to the Tilly Jane cabins. We started with a temperature of 21°F but the wind chill factor was most definitely in the low teens, if not lower. On an exposed ridge is where the wind became painful and made us both question reaching our destination but the trail was all uphill so as long as we kept moving we stayed reasonably warm. We stopped (much needed but BURRRR) for a snack at the cabins, added layers, and within a very short amount of time started moving back down the trail. My hands became so cold and painful that I never took another picture!
It was a challenging day but a fun and exciting day too! ❤️ Who doesn’t love a challenge?!
