The snow has arrived!
Well, just a beautiful dusting.
It was enough to cause our group of five to decide to turn around about 3/4 miles from the falls. We were concerned about slipping on the rocks, bigleaf maple leaves, and couple inches of snow. Time to throw the microspikes in my pack for the season.
A few trees across the trail, but nothing that wasn't easy to step over. Fun to be out in the sleet again.
There was a bit of carnage along the Mountain Loop from the storm, but by the time we came through it was passable.
Happy hiking!

Absolutely beautiful photos! I was there just a few weeks ago. And thank you for using good judgment on your turnaround spot--been there, done that:-))
