It's the first day of winter, time to start hiking winter peaks again! Unfortunately, there was a major rain storm in the week leading up to the 21st, and that did some major road damage by Owl's Head on 73. Coming into the day, I was concerned about water levels around the washbowl. I totally forgot that on the ridge trail you cross the outlet 3 times.
Today I took my first steps this year towards becoming a 46'er. The hike was planned to be Giant and Rocky Ridge peaks. I instead found that the trail was worse than I was expecting, and well, it took me 4 hours to summit Giant around noon. On top of that, it was in the clouds.
