Large cedar tree is blocking intersection of Surprise Creek and Precipice Top trails.
I took advantage of the sunshine to explore the northern portion of Cougar Mountain. Even though it was noon, the winter sun seemed low creating long shadows. Towards the intersection of Surprise Creek and Precipice Top trails a fallen cedar tree blocks both trails. It's still manageable to cross by walking over branches and trunks.
Trails were wet and Surprise creek had some uneven terrain where it crosses the creek. Chickadees, Robins, Kinglets and Pacific Wrens were constant companions, probably just as happy as us hikers that the rain took a break.
