| This was the first nice day after a cold storm passed through. The trees were still loaded with snow and nearby Mt St. Helena looked like it should be in the high sierra. I took the wrong trail on the way to Table Rock and found myself on the north side of the Palasades. Surprisingly, I saw some bear tracks in the snow; a momma and cub. The bushwacking was perfect to stumble upon them, so I turned around. Overall, a very nice and easy hike in the snow. |
