Snow on trail
Road to trailhead inaccessible
Snow on the road about .5 mi short of the trail-head.
The road to the trail-head is closed at Denny Creek, about 2.5 miles short of the trail-head.

We walked 2 miles in before we encountered snow, which got steadily deeper until the entire road was covered and it became obvious my daughters tennis shoes were not up to the task of keeping the snow out.

We ended up turning around before reaching the proper trail-head.
