Day Hike - Fragrance & Lost Lakes
Sun, Dec 22, 2019
Good hike in bad weather but we lucked out with no rain. It had more gain than the website says, 1120 to be exact. We ended up doing more miles as well.

Canceled due to land slide and road closure 2 miles before the Middle Fork Campground.
Soggy but successful hike on the shortest day of the year.
all students successfully passed the FT
trip cancelled due to lack of signup
The first real winter scramble for many of our participants. We had about 18-24" of fresh loose snow to wade through once we got to ridge.
mixed climb turned snowshoe with a great crew
Gorgeous ocean/alpine vistas, with unexpected sun and dry powder snow on this strenuous two summit trip of ~6000’ gain over 14 miles.
;Lots of crevasses between camp and bottom of route
Energetic group ran out of daylight to get the summit, but still got a great workout.
Trail in good condition, bridges have upgrades. Good December hike.
The hike was a large loop that included Discovery Park bluff , W. Perkins , The Bluff , East Magnolia , and the Water Tank view points , although there were no views . This was a group of hikers that enjoyed the social and fun of Saturday morning urban hiking.
