We have about 2 feet of snow in the woods so it is a great time to get out and enjoy the winter. While snowshoeing through a paper birch forest, I saw several different animal tracks. This white pine stump endured one of the fires that burned many parts of the North Shore in the early 1900’s.
Skiing Cascade River State Park 004
At the beginning of the trail there is a “Don’t walk in the ski tracks” sign. Apparently the deer ignore it! Deer are fun to see while skiing and I saw at least two-dozen deer walking on the ski trails. It is considerably easier than walking through two feet of fresh snow.
