Looking up the Gile Mountain Tower Trail
Route: Gile Mountain Tower Trail
Hoping to get a sunrise while traveling on business, the weather forecast didn't quite come true. Snow flurries moved through the area, blocking out the sunrise and pretty much every mountain of size. Nonetheless, there were short proximity views from the tower. Trail conditions were decent, thanks to some snow.
