Sink Hollow Ski/Snowshoe,
January 13, 2013
Six Cache hikers enjoyed a ski/snowshoe trip to Sink Hollow on
Sunday, January 13, 2013. Skiers Dave P., Dave W. and
Christine joined snowshoers Kathy, Anna and Jeanne on one of our
favorite winter outings. The
weather was cold, as expected, but skies were sunny, with only a
few clouds.
We started out from the Sink Hollow Winter Trailhead just before
11:00, following the freshly groomed cross-country ski trail much
of the way (Nordic
United had groomed it the day before). We ate lunch
from about 12:30 to 1:00 in a sunny spot near the sinkhole, but
not until after we had gone a little farther up the trail to the
Idaho border, our usual turn-around point for this
excursion. The cold (19 degrees) weather encouraged us to
head back without any further delay, making for a 2:00 departure
from the trailhead and a 2:40 arrival in Logan.

We stayed well back from the edge
of this sinkhole!
