6) Hyak Sno-Park - Located near Snoqualmie Pass in the Cascades, Hyak Sno-Park is another great option for experienced snowshoers looking for a challenge. This area offers over 10 miles of groomed trails as well as some ungroomed areas if you prefer something a bit more rugged.

It's best to check the snow condition and trail status before going as some of the above-mentioned places might be closed or have limited access due to weather conditions but your next adventure awaits - I just need to convince my wife to ditch the skies
