On 22 Jan 11, Tracy and I did some snowshoeing on the north end of the Mirror Lake Highway

(Yahoo map).  We had actually never driven to this side of the closed highway in the winter, so

I just wanted to see what it was like.  It wasn't too awfully crowded, although there was a pretty

good amount of snowmobile traffic, especially going down the Mirror Lake Highway.  But we

hiked along FR 58, and we had a good time.  It snowed on us a few times, and there was a lot

of snow out there, but the road was well packed, and we didn't need the snowshoes while

walking on the road.  This was a good area to come to for snowshoeing, and I'm sure we'll go

back now that I know it's a little less crowded than the south side of the highway.
