Day Hike - Grand Prospect

Let's aim for the Grand Prospect overlook from Snoqualmie Point Trailhead. Expect some blowdowns and trail debris from the cyclone storm. Good post-Thanksgiving workout.

I'll monitor the weather, trail conditions & reports and attempt to scout at least part of the trail early next week to assess conditions after the storm. If necessary, I will shift to a different trail—maybe from the East side of Rattlesnake Mtn.
