Mount Walker — Friday, Dec. 29, 2023

Hiked up the trail and down the road on a cloudy but high-visibility day! There is no snow/ice anywhere as of 12/29, but the bottom gate is closed so plan ahead for an extra 0.5 miles total of the initial road walk and for slightly trickier parking on a busy weekend day (though, I've never seen it that busy). HIGHLY recommend stopping at Catkin Coffee just in town in Quilcene before or after any hikes in the area - the coffee is incredible and the shop atmosphere is even better:)
