Set out on 26 December for a two night overnight trip at Snow Peak Cabin. Our group parked at Kettle Crest Falls and set out.
The Good:
- Trail is in decent condition and has markers (blue blaze and red/orange flags on the trees) along the way but can be difficult to navigate with new snowfall
- It is definitely a challenging trail to snowshoe with a heavy pack but worth it!
- The cabin was really cute and you can reserve it on rec.gov for overnight permits
The Bad:
- My car and my friend's car were both broken into and they took everything they could. It sucks that more and more trailheads are being targeted by criminals
- It's a long trek there from the west side so plan accordingly

That is such a bummer. I hope that you were able to report it to the sheriffs department

Ouch! That's gotta be a cold drive back with an open window. That really sucks - I've been lucky so far.
Beautiful photos otherwise.
