Dec 2005 Christmas Tree Trek

We rented some snowshoes and headed up to Mt. Hood in December in search of the “McDermott Family Christmas tree”. We ended up at Frog Lake, it was a beautiful sunny day. The snowshoes (rented at REI) were awesome, they make it easy to walk in deep snow, and also have a serrated pair of blades on the underside that allow them to grip in packed snow or ice. We found a tree that we liked and ended the day with some hot chocolate at the Mt. Hood Brewing Co.
