Hit the trailhead about 10AM after bailing on Washington for the Seek the Peak due to the observatory recommending that everyone climb on Sunday instead due to pending weather concerns.

With my favorite hikers, girlfriend Cary and daughter Abigail we hit the trail to the first water crossing.

No problem crossing, rocks plenty exposed.

second water crossing no problem either. Trails were dry for the most part with only a few sections with mud and water running over.

At the viewpoint along the ski trail, weather holding out so far!! Should note that there is one blow-down that requires a go around or climb through up and over.

The constant upward slope to the summit.
