Started hiking at 8:03 AM from a parking lot that had three cars in it. Temperature was near 45 zero and 73 at the finish, when parking spots were hard to find, at noon. The snow was steadily underfoot after about 8500 feet, 2000 feet up. Lost the trail and went accidentally too far west(right) initially while descending. Very glad to have had Gaia GPS, my maiden voyage with it.
