Trip Report

The rain changed to snow once we passed the Salt Creek Tunnel arriving at the trailhead about 9:30 AM. Nancy Whitfield took the lead when the leader needed to locate pliers and repair her malfunctioning equipment. She caught up with them at the trail junction to Tate's trail. It snowed most of the morning with no views of Rosary Rock. After lunch and taking photos, we headed down the trail. With temperatures around 32 degrees, it was a little too wet but still a beautiful winter day.
