Mazamas — For the Love of Mountains
Snowshoe up White River Canyon
Activity Notes
It can be magical to ascend White River Canyon on snowshoes by the light of the full moon, without headlamps if the night is cloudless. The view of Mt. Hood by moonlight is as arresting as the view by sunlight. The full moon will rise within minutes of our departure for the mountain, and we'll return to Clackamas Town Center P&R before the last Green Line train north. Note that your ten essentials include a headlamp with working batteries; we'll have to use our headlamps if it's a cloudy night. Please ensure that you know how to attach your snowshoes to your boots before we reach the cold, dark parking lot.
