It took an hour to decide on a hike this morning. Forecast had rain west of the Cascades crest and snow in higher elevations. I figured it’s probably better to get snowed on, since taking photos in wet conditions would be trickier.
The original plan was to hike up Easton Ridge. But with the amount of snow piled up at the trailhead, the Kachess Ridge trailhead signed was much easier to spot. It felt colder on the trail today for some reason, high 20s to low 30s I think it was. Or could it be that I was just at the beach in some 80-plus-degree heat five days ago? Mmm hmm…
