Donner Summit Sno Park

When: 2017-02-25 to 2017-02-25

A day and night near the Donner Summit Sno Park. When we arrived, the parking was already extremely full. Coupled with the weather, arrival time, and the planned schedule for the next day's avalanche safety class, we decided to head toward Azalea Lake.
