I got a late start today, so I headed up the trail for the Mount Walker viewpoint. The parking area was a bit icy, but the trail only had slush that was easy to walk through. On my way up, I found an awesome princess balloon, which made my day! Nearer to the top, snow was falling and the trail was coated with snow. At most, there was about four inches of snow up top.
The trip down was much quicker, and since I had time, I decided to head up again via the road. According to Google Maps, this route is 4.4 miles. I made it to within 300 feet of the summit before turning around due to the coming sunset as well as a very chilly wind.
All told, this is a great hike. I was happy to see snow, and there was hardly any mud on the lower sections of the trail.
