Lovely little waterfall and cool boulders on the way up. As we neared 1700' it got more deep slushy and slippery and the icy trees were melting. We were getting pelted with ice and freezing rain. We continued on with beautiful views but did not get to Cliff trail to get to the summit. We weren't sure since we didn't see markers and the ice rain was no fun, plus we were cutting it close before dark, so we decided to make the safd choice and head back down. We got to our car with plenty of time. Looking forward to trying the summit another day!
Only saw one other person the whole time |
