An awesome and phenomenal experience way to celebrate my birthday ♡♡♡ Snowshoed with first timers, my Trail Turtles. All 10 of us made it to Mt Pinos, but after Mt Tumamait, half turned around. On our cx way to Sawmill, it was extremely windy 40mph and we literally had to break trail to make it to Sawmill. Our intention was to conquer 3-2-1 Challenge, but couldn't make it to Grouse Mountain due to the weather and time. We started at 8 am and finished at 530ish pm 7.33 miles. The snow was waist deep, I had to dig out my friend with my shovel. Be cautious of the bushes, you will sink down!!! DEEP!!! Snowshoe is highly recommended, not crampons or spikes. Snow are soft and snow drift will cover your tracks, so bring a form of map/gps, we used All Trails app. We will definitely go back!!!

♡♡♡♡ Happy Trails ♡♡♡ CXE BEAST
