8.6 miles of hiking • 1000' elevation gain •
We love this area and decided to try a hike in spite of the high winds. The last several miles on Larch Mt. Rd. were icy, but the Subaru didn't have any problems at low speeds. The temperature was parked at about 24 degrees F for the day, but we added an extra layer and had no warmth issues. We also wore our Kahtoola micro-spikes as the ground was frozen and slippery. We only saw one couple hiking the entire day, but there were about 6 cars in the gate area when we returned. It was a beautiful day and we really enjoyed the hike!
