Thanks everyone for your support and input, the hike was A,,OK.
The weather was somewhat sunny with a few clouds and just a touch over freezing when the group of 8 led by Jean Guy started off on their circumnavigation of Little Esten Lake, considering all the warm weather and rain we have had the past week the logging road and trails were not in too bad of shape at all. Spirits were high and the chatter was a buzz, it was a nice hike to end out 2024 and we wish everyone a Happy New Year and all the best for 2025.
