The forecast is for rain and maybe snow so plan on a wet, cold hike - dress appropriately! The hike is through the forest to the lake so hopefully that will provide some protection. We'll have a short break at the lake before returning. Maybe some snow at the lake - microspikes are optional. Optional lunch at South Fork in North Bend after.
