 | Parking/Access Road Notes: |
Parked at the Starr King Trailhead. The lot was full, so I drove up to the end to turn around and park along the side of the road (plenty of room, and a few other vehicles did the same). But...the road is super icy at the top so need to be cautious of that. |

Trail conditions were amazing today!!! Packed solid, but not completely smooth, and also some frozen post holes here and there, but really did not cause any issues. There was some blue ice at the beginning of the trail, and a couple of other patches up higher, but again, did not cause any issues. Hillsounds start to finish. And apologies, at the viewpoint beyond Waumbek summit, I meant to look to see if there had been any traffic continuing on beyond that point, and I completely forgot. |
