Snow Shoeing in Alaska Lake Trail, Wenatchee, Washington USA

12mi/19km
Best snow shoeing season:
January to March
Wenatchee is the largest city of Chelan County, located in North Central Washington and lies on the west side of the Columbia River. The city is also known as the Apple Capital of the world, due to the valley's apple cultivations.
Alaska Lake is located on the Central Cascade Mountain. The trail is 12 mi/19 km long (out and back), about eight hours hike with an elevation gain of 1600 ft/487 m. The trail is open for snowshoeing from January through late March and is suitable for practitioners of all skill levels and ages. Snowshoers can also spend the night by the lake and return the next day, but low temperatures camping gear is necessary.
By January, the snow is more than enough while the lake’s and mountain’s view is unbelievable. Alaska Lake Trail is a great path to enjoy snowshoeing and practice your skills. You will walk through dark forests, alpine scenery and untracked snow if you visit the trail early enough. The path is not always safe from snowdrifts, so always check the weather forecast before you choose this trail and don’t forget to take with you a map and a compass.
