Weather report was foggy and low 30s – no chance of rain. Sounded like one of those days with valley fog and sunshine above. The northern valley was colder with possible freezing fog that ruled out a longer drive to Marys Peak. Time for a Ridgeline Trail <\/a>hike with as much time above the fog as possible in lightweight mesh trail runners (no heavy waterproof shoes).<\/p>\n\n\n\n

The Route<\/strong><\/h3>\n\n\n\n

Started earlier around 6:45 with headlamp from Spring Blvd TH. From the TH, up to Spencer top, then down to S. Willamette TH and back to Spencer top; then down to Blanton Ridge TH and back to the top; finally back to the Spring Blvd TH. The fog was so thick at the beginning, my little 400L headlamp hardly pierced through — I see why some folks use 1000L<\/p>\n\n\n\n
