Clouds covered the upper portion of the mountain and there were forecasts of possible snow – driving up the mountain clouds float thru the ridges above Bear Canyon and rockfall on the road reminds me to pay attention – somewhere before the Palisade Ranger Station the clouds cover the highway – I went higher hoping that fast moving clouds might offer interesting views… Mostly wind at the start of the Sunset Trail – it doesn’t really start to rain and hail until I arrive at the empty Marshall Gulch Picnic Area, and then it really really rains and hails on the way back… The clouds never break – just part of the fun.
