Snowshoeing - Difficult

Join me Saturday, Apr 30 for a snowshoe hike in the Sawtooth Wilderness near Stanley, Idaho. Weather permitting; we will snowshoe upon trails leading from the Iron Creek Trailhead off of Idaho Highway 21. We may cartage snowshoes to begin as we may have packed conditions for the first 3 miles. Distance is 12 miles roundtrip; elevation gain 1,720 ft. Limit 12, no dogs please. Bring the 10 IMR essentials, plenty of water, and lunch.

OFF TRAIL snowshoe for Friday in the Banner Ridge area.  It will be about 3 to 4 miles in 2' of new snow OFF TRAIL over moderate to steep terrain so should be a class B "DIFFICULT" snowshoe.  High temperature for the day is expected to be only 12 degrees F so dress in multiple warm layers.  The hike will start uphill so moisture management will be of utmost importance as the return will not be as strenuous so we will not be producing as much heat.  IMR 10 essentials plus water, and trail food, and snowshoes required, poles recommended.  Not recommended for Dogs.
