Deb – thank you so much for your suggestions for snowshoeing! I will be heading eastward in just a week and will try and check out some of those trails you suggested, I even have friends in the Cle Elum area who could show me around. :-) Thank you Burl for the heads up, I will try and check with the main editor to see if we can’t get the browser viewing fixed.

Very informative article. I’ve found your blog via Yahoo and I’m really happy about the information you provide in your articles. Btw your blogs layout is really messed up on the Chrome browser. Would be really great if you could fix that. Anyhow keep up the good work!

Hey! You came to my stompin’ grounds! If you don’t mind driving a little further east, there are some good hikes around Salmon la Sac. I like to go along the Cooper River, or make a loop on the Waptus River trail back to the trailhead. The Blewett Pass area also has some good marked trails. We haven’t had a lot of snow yet, especially further east of the crest and at lower elevations…For more info about snowshoe opportunities on the Cle Elum Ranger District and some winter safety tips, check out cleelumtrails.com.

Twig tracking is a wonderful little natural history sport practiced on here by our first editor, Jenny Frederick, which involves observing the different kinds of deciduous shrubs and trees via their twigs and not-yet-flowering buds in order to identify their species. It allows one to read the landscape when the leaves so often associated with deciduous trees/shrubs are not there to assist in identification. Try it out at home! Take a field guide with you.

Great pictures as always. I do have one question though, what’s twig tracking?
