Kloshe Nanitch — Saturday, Mar. 9, 2019

Attempted to hike up to Kloshe Nanitch the other day. The weather was fantastic and I had the trail to myself the entire afternoon. The road to the trailhead is clear with the exception of the turnaround area at the end of the road which was icy, but it's easy to park before the ice starts. The trail starts off snow free but turns to compact snow and ice around 2500'. Nothing some microspikes can't handle. I got within a mile or so of the lookout platform and decided to turn around. I was starting to posthole a bit too much in some fresh-ish snow and was worried about the amount of daylight I had left. There were a few downed trees to step over along the trail but nothing unmanageable. I'm sure the views from up top would have been great but it was a nice day on the trail nonetheless.
