This post is a bit late (busy start to the week) but on Sunday we went for a hike at Spaulding Meadows, which is a steep trail near our house. You pass through two meadows before you get to the end of the trail, which opens up on a seemingly vast area called Spaulding Meadows. We hiked about 2.5 miles in, not quite making it all the way to the end of the trail. There's about 1200 feet of elevation gain to get as far as we did, so it was a fun hike (lots of stripping off of layers as we started to heat up while hiking) and great views from the meadows. The sun even peeked out a couple of times!
There was also a LOT of snow up near the end of the trail. From the hollows around the base of trees near the top, it looked like there was 8-12 feet of beautiful, un-trampled snow up there. You have to keep to the trail where the snow is packed down, otherwise you sink and it's nearly impossible to walk.
In the second meadow, looking farther up the trail (as opposed to facing the view of the water behind me).
Steve, 'being epic'...his words, not mine. :)
