I took a snowshoe trip to Franklin Falls from Snoqualmie Pass. The snowpack is melting fast this year - last year I did a snowshoe from the same starting point in the first week of March, and the snow level then was about the same as today. Unless they get some fresh fall up there, the ski season will be ending early this year.
Views along the valley on the way down what is a road in summer and a snowshoe trail in winter.
The creek that runs alongside the road.
Franklin Falls. A month ago the rocks around it were a solid wall of ice, but there's not much left of it now.
Heading back up the road on the return to the car.
A beautiful day, and I was glad to get out! I didn't make it anywhere in January - between some bad weather, the joys of having to refute debt collectors and other hassles, and then working extra days to cover for sick people, I didn't get the chance.
