Jolly Mountain — Friday, Dec. 16, 2022

Today I snowshoed up the Jolly Mt Road, AKA Storey Rd locally, for about 1.5 miles to the first great viewpoint. That took 44 minutes. From here you see Red Mt, Lemah Pk, Hinman and Daniel to the north, and Davis Peak. The route had been snowmobiled, despite the voluntary machine closure designation, and snowshoed and was pretty rough at the start and on the corners. Otherwise, the going was easy. Weather was bluebird and crisp. I do this every year, and when I have ore time, continuing on this road gives even better views and more solitude. This road is the last one on the right before hitting the campground at Salmon la Sac, about 15 miles north of Roslyn on Rd 903. There is a huge Snopark here, so permit required.
