Lower on the highway everything was wet - Seven Cataracts is roaring and all the usual road-cut waterfalls flowing - but somewhere around Barnum Rock the rain turned to big wet snow flakes!

The snow seems like a surprise after the rain - but it has been snowing long enough to cover Incinerator Ridge Road and put snow on the [link slug="incinerator-ridge-trail-and-kellogg-trail"]Incinerator Ridge Trail[/link] - a frozen sign greets me at the start of the [link slug="knagge-trail"/].

Clouds cover the mountain and snow covers the trail - there aren't any footsteps to follow today but finding the trail isn't a problem. I start to wonder about snow collecting on the highway - but surely there is time to make it to the old cabin site...


The snow has turned to rain by the time I finish the hike down to the cabin - out of time I head back up into the snow.

2.5 Miles, +/- 1100' of elevation gain and loss.
