Kings Mountain
5.5 miles of hiking • 2500' elevation gain •
Even though it's short and I've done way harder it kicked my butt. Snow most of the way up and it's slushy right now so even with spikes there was a lot of slipping. Glad I did it though.

Herman Creek
8.8 miles of hiking • 2000' elevation gain •
Headed up the main Herman Creek trail. No real snow in the woods but on the trail it was slanted ice. We turned around at Camp Creek, The went up the Gorton Creek trail for awhile. There was a washout less than a mile up that was kind of sketchy. Then we went down to the bridge that crosses the Creek and heads over to Benson. On the far side of the creek it was slanted icy snow again. Definitely spikes would be needed to go more than a few miles up any of the trails except maybe Nick Eaton.

Rd 777 and 400 to Eagle Creek
7.6 miles of hiking • 1000' elevation gain •
We wanted to go up the old RD 777 that parallels Tanner Creek and see the waterfall at the old Tanner Butte TH. There was still about 4 inches of snow once we hit 600'. We had all the gear butat 1000' we called it quits and headed back to the Toothrock parking lot and meandered over the Eagle Creek and had our lunch in one of the picnic shelters . Great day.
