DEEP WET Snowshoe to Umbrella Falls on May 1st | Mt. Hood, Oregon

Gracie girl and I head out to Mt.Hood on May 1st after a spring snowstorm. Around 15 inches of snow fell. The day was perfect, minimal wind and warmer temperatures. We attempted to cross country ski at first but the snow was so wet that it was sticking to the skis. So we returned to the truck and donned some snow shoes. The snow was deep, I needed the flotation tails for the MSR snowshoes I was using, but we made it anyway. Next time I will make sure I have the tails in the truck.

We take off from a parking lot at Mt. Hood Meadows ski resort and we go to Umbrella Falls for an awesome day.

Just trying to escape the Matrix. Thanks for watching.
