the plan: park ira spring t/h, hike old trail to mason lake, depending on conditions, head up either se ridge or take trail to defiance summit. if conditions or group ability do not warrant, return to car the way we came. otherwise, continue over to middle defiance aka putrid petes and then loop back to car.
hard to tell what the snow will be like. could be anywhere from moderate to very strenuous. no matter what, the pace will be social.
* for all our my trips, if we do not change its date or destination (both possibilities are always on the table), one important note to make clear - we are very pragmatic with regard to weather. if the forecast or conditions are not favorable, we will either change destinations at the last minute or cancel the trip.
