Route: Rattlesnake Mountain Trail, (Rattlesnake Mountain), Rattlesnake Mountain Trail

With blue skies and temperatures in the mid-60s, it was necessary to get outside for a bit. While I had intended to snowshoe jog the trail, the warm temperatures and somewhat sloppy snow conditions slowed me down. The views from the summit were strong in all directions.
