Description:
Plan: PCT to Tie Trail and up to Tait’s Loop to the overlook and back. If snow conditions are difficult on the Tie Trail, will go to 1 or more of the Rosary Lakes.
***WEATHER UPDATE*** expect that there will be 4-12 inches of snow based on different weather models. The higher we go, the more there should be, but it's possible we may have to abort altogether, although I don't think that likely. Freezing level should stay low for the next several days. Plan on suboptimal but acceptable conditions, but with some ice and bare spots. I wouldn't expect cold temperatures, but wet, sticky snow may be present in places.
