6.5 miles of hiking • 1750' elevation gain •
My original thought was to get up to Cooper Spur before the coming wet weather. Unfortunately, my brain wasn't in Winter Mode yet because I forgot to bring chains, which made my attempt at driving the Civic up an icy Cloud Cap Road comical if not idiotic.
I turned back, went up to Timberline, then headed to TDH for a quick hike. Snow on the trail started around 4500'. Also, it looked like someone broke into a few vehicles at the Mirror Lake TH when I got back.
