There had been rain after the last snowfall. So there was some postholing even with snowshoes. The going was rougher than usual.
We had a good trip. The forecast was for clouds and possible rain. We were pleased that the mountain was visible even if the sky was gray. There was no rain, and very few people. We did see a Ptarmigan on the road.
The Paradise road was pretty bare. The parking lot was safe to walk across - no ice.
