The new trailhead parking lot was closed because of icy conditions on the beginning part of the trail. The picnic area was open. The puncheon was frosty and very slippery. There were a few muddy spots on the trail. A 12-inch windfall is across the trail about 100 yards beyond the junction of the trails coming from the picnic area and from the new trailhead. The caves have retreated considerably. Ice blocks litter the front of the lower caves. There are large crevasses in the roof of the middle caves. The upper caves are completely open on top. There were deer and lynx tracks in one of the snow patches in front of the lower caves.
