Fanton Trail to Squaw Mountain Snowshoe
At the trailhead we started at - on the 4614 road just before it makes a turn north
Start of the trail - not much snow
A little further up the trail the snow is getting deeper
Snow continues to get deepter, although it is still easy enough without snowshoes
A print of some sort - the only thing I can think of is a bear - it was a BIG print, although it wasn't very sharp - the snow had been melting
Junction with the old Baldy trail
Snow continues to get deeper - this may have been about the point where I put on my snowshoes
A cool rock formation next to the trail
Getting out into open areas near Squaw Mountain - snow is getting really deep -18" +

The radio repeater (or whatever it is) up on Squaw Mountain
Thor had to investigate this weird thing
The old garage foundation on Squaw Mountain
The old lookout site on Squaw Mountain - probably 12-18" of snow
I think Mt Hood is behind the clouds. I was happy I got to see as much as I did!

Fog in the valley below from Squaw Mountain
I almost scraped the snow off - these steps have "Welcome" carved into them - on Squaw Mountain

It didn't really come out in the photo, but htere were sunbreaks filtering thru the trees - it was really pretty
Fanton creek next to the Fanton Trail
Bridge over Fanton creek has collapsed - can't drive to the overlook anymore
