20 miles of hiking • 5750' elevation gain •
Started at Herman Creek at 7:45am. Up Nick Eaton ridge and out to Green Point Mountain. Hit snow around 4000' and it became deep and consolidated with some new fresh snow on top from the previous days' rains. Totally misted over and lots of wind blowing snowmelt and ice and snow bombs out of the trees on us. Cold! Scrapped plans to head down to Rainy and North lakes due to tricky routefinding in snow and overall lack of a view (as well as cold feet). Backtracked to the junction with the Wyeth trail and headed down. At the bottom, headed west on the 400 back to Herman Creek to complete the loop around 5:30pm.
