As I have done since 2016, I did an #optoutside hike on the day after Thanksgiving. I usually go to Monte Cristo and attempt to go to Silver Lake. But I found out that Mountain Loop was already closed. And the weather was looking like rain. So I picked a hike close but high up. Since Stevens Pass ski area was not yet open, I decided Lake Valhalla would be a good choice.
My trip report is on WTA's site here.

But here are some additional photos.

Winter wonderland!

Lunch!
Trail is too narrow for big snowshoes
Best piece of gear on a day like this was, as usual, OR Seattle Sombrero.
