Olympic Peninsula > Hood Canal

Lots of snow on top, you'll want boots an gaiters. It's cold up there too, please do SAR a favor and don't treat it like a jogging track. I saw two guys there with no packs and dressed in cotton shirts, running shorts and running shoes. It was almost 2pm and they were headed up just past horse camp. Even if they were able to keep moving they must have gotten very cold in the wind and blowing snow. There is a blow down on the longer loop just above horse camp, it's tricky for me to navigate due to the slope and my short legs. http://mosswalks.blogspot.com/2014/02/mount-rose-sunrise-dial-ride.html for all of the pictures. Mason Transit Dial-a-ride does serve this trail head.
