Excellent conditioner - and practice for off trail approaches- but don’t expect to be home by lunchtime using this approach.

Lovely forested meander up to Debbie's view. Rainier was clouded over, so only territorial view at the viewpoint. Did see a prominent large claw mark on a tree, and we debated whether the tree visitor was bear or cougar.

Road closed till 7am. Extreme avalanche conditions. 9am backpacked toward Grace Lakes to a very safe area. Nice weather, dusting of snow Saturday and Saturday night. A treat to camp in this good snow and good weather. Very knowledgeable group.

We traveled clockwise up the steep switchbacks first. There was between 6-8 feet of snow and snow was a nice powder until the descent on the Wonderland trail where it started to become slushy at temps warmed the snow. Overall it was a really good trip.

We launched from Arcadia and paddled in a counter-clockwise direction around Squaxin Island.
