February 24th, 2024, Snowshoeing at Gold Creek Pond

Have you always wanted to try? The location we go to is just off I-90 at the pass. GREAT for beginners. The parking pass is $25 per day per vehicle or $130 for the season. We only go up on good weather days and never if chains are required. Emails will go out in the days just prior to this event confirming if and when we gather. Depending on the weather forecast that week. Enough members have snowshoes that we can lend extra sets to others in need.

This trail is so popular that the trail is very compacted and if the temperatures are below freezing. You don't really need snowshoes. You can just to the walk with good hiking boots and poles. But if you want to go off that beaten path at all, or the day is sunny & warm, softening the snow, you will NEED snowshoes.

At the Hyak Sno-park kiosk day and season parking passes can be purchased. There's a heated relatively clean bathroom. New this year REI has a kiosk snowshoe can be rented for $20 a day.

The trailhead is just on the northside of the Hyak Exit #54 on I-90. Link to the event location: Gold Creek Pond Snowshoe — Washington Trails Association (wta.org)

Because of the expensive parking pass required and road conditions We ALL will meet at Issaquah Transit center. Organize ourselves then follow each other up to the trailhead.

Here's a link to the carpooling meeting point.
