Morning y'all,
It's a gloomy morning up top. The high yesterday reached 35 degrees. The overnight low was 24 degrees. It was 29 degrees and mostly cloudy at 7am observation. The mountain received .26" of liquid precipitation last night. It is currently sleeting a bit, the mountain is covered in a veneer of ice. It was sketchy walking just to get to the kitchen from my cabin! As of this posting, Highway 441 is closed. Check the Park Service's twitter feed for updated road status. Enjoy the fog world!

Hey Stephen- hope your Dad enjoys his hike. There is a pretty good chance the mountain will get some good snow tomorrow, so it will slow him down some I think. Which is ok if he plans for it. Not much ice on Rainbow till the last part of the trail. Probably won't be many folks on the trail tomorrow. It definitely takes a bit more out of you to hike that trail than Alum-as well as taking longer to hike it. Comments are closed.
