Martin took a solo morning hike up the trail along the Middle Fork of the Snoqualmie River.
Looking across the valley and the impressive Garfield Mountain.
There was an interesting temperature inversion in the valley. On the valley bottom the ground was frozen solid and trees were caked with ice while a few hundred…
Up out of the frozen for a bit the streams were flowing nicely.
Ground was frost-free at the bridge crossing back over the river a few miles up from the trailhead.
Such a pretty river...
...and pretty moss forest.
Up from the river valley. Looking down, the white below is all ice covered trees.
