Mount Rose — Wednesday, Dec. 22, 2021

Olympic Peninsula > Hood Canal
Why are we the only people if this is a good idea?

Unpaved road at Lake Cushman was in perfect condition 6 weeks ago, but (two snows later) pot holes are developing.

Snow beside roads from Hoodsport but plowed and not icy (since today was above 40*.) No snow along lake section or at trailhead. 

Steady rain throughout our hike and we were the only (fools) on the mountain. Trail clear of windfall. Snow started 30% up to Horsecamp and utilized microspikes at 50%. We turned around at Horsecamp because slow hiking with an umbrella (for steady rain) and one pole in deep snow.
