Mason Lake at the cusp of winter
With storms predicted to arrive in the mountains soon, I decided to take advantage of today's fair weather and take a hike to Mason Lake. The Ira Spring Trail was dry and free of snow all the way to the lake. I lingered at the lake's shore for awhile, enjoying the warmth of the sun gleaming through the thin high clouds veiling the sky. Occasional strong gusts of wind blowing from the east were a reminder that the storms are out there, lurking just offshore. Winter will arrive soon in the high country.

Last winter's storms did some impressive damage to the Ira Spring Trail near Mason Creek, but bypasses have been built around the landslides. The rest of the trail is in fine shape.
