It was a nice morning so went out to do a little exploring Sunday. Very icy with a hard snow crust. Was a cold day but clear sky and great views. Continued past Silverhope Lake. The tire ruts ended and just a compacted snowmobile track continued. No major problems except the truck is wider than a snowmobile and I started getting concerned about the snow softening up in the sun. So at about 19km I chose a wide spot with lots of big trees (anchor points) to attempt to turn around. The reality was it was Sunday afternoon and if I got badly stuck it would be a very long walk out. Besides it was still a long way from Skagit at that point. Didn't have trouble turning around and no winching needed after all so we headed back to the lake. Good thing about winter no rangers around to give us s*** for having a fire out on the beach in the park.
Never been up there before, anyone know if there is any decent wheeling or interesting side trips/hikes in that area? Saw a trailhead to Eaton Creek/Lake, might be an interesting hike. Should also be old roads into the side drainages?
