Granite Mountain

Left the trail head at 0900, just me and my dog. It was a little cool starting out, but you warm up fast on this hike. The skies were clear, so the views were great. The trail was in great condition...I hit snow and ice just below the summit, very little, but still a little slippery in places. Upon reaching the summit the wind was quite stiff, I worried that my little dog might get blown back down to North Bend. I took some pictures on top then left. I had planned on lunch at the summit, but it was just a little to windy. I got back to the parking lot around 1430.
