As usual, the weather was the first topic of discussion this morning and then hunter avoidance was brought up. Rattlesnake Mt seemed like a logical choice so we headed to the west trailhead off exit 27 on I-90. The trail was in very good condition but the views were minimal. Sometimes the clouds would lift a little while we stopped at the multiple rest/view spots west of the east peak. As we got closer to the east peak, we started thinking about some way to complete the traverse to Rattlesnake Lake even though we had no car at that point. BINGO!! At the East Peak, we ran into some friends that were doing a westward one way traverse and we scored a set of car keys. The clouds continued to rise as we descended and there were even some views of Chester Morse Lake. Near the east end of the trail, there were the usual hordes of people, all enjoying the trail as we were.
