White River to Timberline Lodge - 2020/11/08

We arrived to a beautifully sunny & crisp (23F) White River at 8:30 this morning. Our plan was to hike up to Timberline lodge & back. The weather defied the forecast though and by the time we were half way there the Sun was gone. By the time we got to Timberline Lodge it was full on snowing! Snow depth ranged from a couple of inches at White River to 6-10" as we climbed up Boy Scout Ridge. In normal times on a hike like this we would treat ourselves to a Hot Drink in the Rasm's Head bar before returning but in these Covid times we had to content ourselves with a 5 minute warm up by the fire before heading back down again! Winter hiking is here!
