Parked at Seven Dwarfs on Little River Road. $10/car left in the mailbox. I brought an envelope and filled it out as they request (there’s a sign above the mailbox with instructions). It was snowing, so I didn’t want to put it on my windshield. |

 | Comments: |
We barebooted to the water crossing and then donned Hillsounds. About an inch of fluffy snow down low transitioned to 4-6” up high with some higher drifts. Snowshoes would have been helpful for the top half of Fire Warden’s and it is still snowing now, so bring them if you plan to head out in the next few days. As we descended, the snow became wetter/warmer and botted up like crazy on the spikes. It was a relief to switch back to bare boots. |
