Snowshoers enjoy new trail bridges over Mount Spokane creeks

TRAILS -- The work park staff and volunteers put in building bridges at Mount Spokane this summer and fall is paying off this winter, especially for snowshoers who can easily get across Burping Brook on the trails above the Mount Kit Carson Loop Road.

Holly Weiler of the Spokane Mountaineers and Friends of Mount Spokane State Park volunteered her muscle to build the bridge. On Sunday she used muscle power to enjoy the luxury of easy stream crossings and took time to post this photo.

Weiler also is a member of the Washington Trails Association, which took the lead on building bridges and other trail work in the park this year.
