Sometime you don’t get the hike you planned for but you enjoy the hike you get. The forecast was for sun with some clouds and no rain. What I got was starting in rain and a cloudy day. I also found snow at the higher levels. So ended up cutting my hike short and did not go on the ZigZag Mt. I also had plan on cold dry and was prepared for that but ended up up having to use my emergency poncho for the rain. First time to use and poncho on trail and it worked pretty good. The hike was around 12 mile with 3000 ft. elevation gain and on the trail for 7 hours.
