Winter Scramble - Mount Constitution

As always, beautiful ferry cruise, forests, lakes, and the palpable slowing to 'island time' from the frenetic pace of the Puget Sound metropolitan area.  Only had gentle breezes, a bit of rain, and gray mists wafting through the summit tower (needless to say, no views).  We had lunch in the tower room with the wooden floor (seemed a bit warmer) before descending to what seemed a mini rain shadow on the trail bordering the western shore of Mountain Lake (just below the eastern cliffs of Mt Constitution).  Did a slight detour to visit 'Little Summit' as well.  Photos from past trips (as well as a map of our route for this trip) can be seen here. Total time of ~7 hours.
