Best day ever! My second time on this trail, and first time hiking snow any time. I didn't expect it today, because the most recent trip report I saw said snow free. But of course it snowed on Wednesday. Eye roll.
Confirming previous trip report: the campground restrooms are locked. There are also portapotties behind the businesses in Hoodsport. The picnic area by Lake Cushman had not been cleared of snow, but there are portapotties there too.
The trail was snow covered the entire way, not deep. Definitely not deep enough for snowshoes. None of the six hikers I saw had micro spikes, but my 70-year-old self was happy for the ones I just purchased.
Really gorgeous day. I guess I'm a snow hiker now.
