Guided trip with husband and wife team Bob and Katherine Appling, both naturalists with the Mount Saint Helens Institute. Met at Marble Mountain Sno-Park and proceeded along the snow covered road to the June Lake Trailhead, we could just walk with boots on the road until we got to the trailhead at which point we donned our snowshoes. Snow was falling at this point but not too heavily, trail was clear and we must have been the first group of the day judging by the lack of prior tracks.
Mountain was socked in so we didn't get to see the peak itself.
No wildlife to report, not even any Gray Jays at the lake where our party had lunch before returning.
