Didn't start my hike u til after Noon. Passed a lot of hikers on my way up and dozens more working their way down. Few people with hiking poles or traction. Love those slipping and sliding people getting after it without getting too beat up. Windy at the Lookout, mud pits deep as ever and windy in the open area before getting back in the treesnear the summit. Walked on by the crowded tower,lots of people around it and on it. Snowcat had driven up work road so I made the decision to skip down it and easy walk back to the tram.. I used my Salomon boots with the studs on the soles and they worked well. |
