Went to Rimrock Viewpoint, at 3150'. It snowed a lot on the way up, but once I got to the viewpoint it started to clear - even got some views. The snow increased to 5-6 inches toward the top (under the trees) but at open viewpoint it was more than a knee deep.

The only big blowdown on the trail. One needs to walk on middle log to get around a giant rootball. Other that that, the trail is in good condition. Lunchtime At some moment it started snowing like crazy Approaching a final scramble to Rimrock Viewpoint Looking down from Rimrock Salmon River Valley began to clear from the clouds Looking to Hunchback summit Our tracks on the ridge View of the first blowdown from the other side. Note my daypack for scale. Red dots show the easy way around, for the time being
