| A Snowshoe Hare |
While snowshoeing we saw lots of animal tracks including those of the Snowshoe hare. I haven't seen one of those since I was a child. There must be a lot of them now as there were tracks all over the place. I was lucky on this trip to see one! I like how the trip leader, Nowell, wrote up about our little rabbit meet-up:
"Consequently, he sat not 10 feet away from us for several minutes
allowing us to admire him, and sensed that we were some kind of strange
two-legged creatures placed there to admire him, take pictures, and to
listen to Carolyn whispering sweet nothing into his beautiful long ears."

| Cougar Tracks |

| More cougar tracks and bunny tracks |
Some of the cougar tracks were 'following' the rabbit ones, so one person thought that the Cougar was chasing one. We also saw wolf, coyote, weasel, and moose tracks. This is a very busy place! No wonder there was an animal viewing platform nearby.

After snowshoeing for 5 hours, we reached the animail viewing platform. Some people attempted to climb up the stair while wearing their snowshoes. It was very challenging! But as you can see some made it to the top.
All in all it was a fantastic day to snowshoe! I was so happy to see such a big turnout. Here's hoping that I get the same when I lead the snowshoe trip to Livingston Springs this weekend.
