Hard to tell what needs to be done from the storms back in October with all the snow. There were a few duck unders but nothing that could not be ducked under. |

Make sure your dog can handle a 4K hike, a winter hike, and bring water. Everything is frozen. Crawford path is a great way to step up your dog to a 4K without too much vertical gain. |

It's been a long time... Over a year since I visited a 4K in winter. Pierce was a good start and I hope to incorporate more 4K's into my exploring. Trail was good today. Well packed and I only used my spikes. If you do step off the monorail, you will sink in. I did once up to my hip. Temps and winds were perfect today. |
