Wanted to see Bison Peak in the winter so I put on my snow shoes and off I went. I saw a few hikers before the snow got deep, and from there I was trail blazing. Some times the snow was up to my crotch but still I marched on. As I cam out of tree line onto the plateau the wind kept the snow from piling and I hike the rest of the way without the snow shoes. A very good day all by myself.
