Mt Walker

 Drove out to Quilcene to hike to Mt Walker. The road up to Mt Walker is closed in the winter and the parking is right off of Hwy 101. We found the 1/4 mile road walk up to the trail head to be very slippery.

 The 2 mile trail up to the north viewpoint is a series of switchbacks climbing up 2,005 ft. About 1/3 of the way up the trail was very slick and we put on our microspikes. It also began to snow.

 The light snow covered flora was very pretty.

There was no view to be had today.

This is a popular trail, so it is common to see Gray Jays up here.

 We decided to go ahead and hike the 0.5 mile over to the south viewpoint and back. Although there was no view today, I enjoyed the snow covered landscape and the mossy trees.
