We arrived at the Windy Ridge Viewpoint a little after 9am. We came in from Randall on the 25 and the the 99. Roads were paved the whole way although with a few potholes here and there. Signs were still posted on the 25 about road closures south of the junction with 99. Parking lot looked like it could hold about 100 cars and there were only a few parked in the lot when we arrived. A gate on the service road prevented us from driving any further and restrooms were closed for the winter. Trail was easy to follow although we had to follow ducks up and down a few gullies. View was clear enough to see St Helens, Adams, and the top of Ranier. Falls still had an impressive amount of water, so much that we could hear the roar before seeing the falls. We encountered a few other groups but the trail was not too crowded. Highly recommend!
