Hello Frassati Young Adults!

Join us for a beautiful snowshoe excursion to Artist Point on Saturday, March 18th. Snowshoeing Artist Point has historically been an annual trip with Frassati and we're excited to bring it back!

Meet at the UW Newman Center at 6:45 AM, and we will depart at 7:00 AM. The drive is about 3 hours, and we should arrive back at 5 pm.

We will be joined by Dominican sisters from Bremerton and Vancouver and the Verso L'Alto young adults group from Langley, B.C. Weather permitting, Fr. Chrysostom will be celebrating Mass for us at the top.

Details about Artist Point:

It's 4.0 miles round trip with 1000 ft of elevation gain. It will be easier than our last snowshoe trip to Granite Creek, but we do expect snow starting from the trailhead and some steep parts that are technically challenging. Cool thing about Artist Point: on a clear day, you get beautiful panoramic views throughout the hike.

What to bring:

Please dress accordingly with waterproof boots/shoes, appropriate pants (not jeans), wool socks, hat/toque, gloves, waterproof jacket, and layers. Bring plenty of water, a snack, a lunch, snowshoes, and trekking poles. 

You are responsible for bringing your own snowshoes. If you do not own a pair of snowshoes, you can easily rent one from REI for $20, or from UW school for $18.

We will reassess the weather and trail conditions a couple of days before the hike and email if we switch to a different (but similar) hike.
