Winter Wonderland
I think I’m a bit of an oddity among my friends and family. I love snow. I grew up in Northern Wisconsin where storms often dumped upwards of 12 inches of snow in a matter of hours and it wasn’t uncommon to trudge through 2 or 3 feet just to make it across the yard. I find shovelling snow rather therapeutic, not to mention good exercise, and consider an hour watching it fall to be an hour well-spent. Today I’d like to try to lure some non-believers to the snowy side by exploring some of the many activities only available during the snow-filled winter months.
First – for those looking for general information on winter recreation, check out the website for Washington State Parks for more information on the parks, permits, fees, schedules, and more. If you’re planning a trip to Northern Idaho, check out their visitor’s guide for more information on winter activities.
