Fort Flagler State Park

For this trip I had visitors, friends from Florida, and they wanted something that would be easy to moderate, with some good views. As it was going to be a sunny day, albeit a chilly one, I thought that one of the Puget Sound forts would be a good option! And so it was.

Big Four Ice Caves

Eric and I got a late-ish start today but we were doing a shorter hike today so it wasn't that big of a deal. We headed up to the Mountain Loop Highway and began the drive and climb into the mountains. It was heavily overcast and it wasn't long until we were driving into clouds. Snow started appearing on the side of the road as we passed through Verlot and became more substantial the closer we got to our destination.
