When November comes I remember Wagonwheel Lake.
Snow is falling in the mountains, but not enough to kick off skiing, snowshoeing and other winter sports. We're talking rain. It's that time of year when you might not be able to reach the trailhead because Highway 101 is flooded or washed out.
So this is my favorite month to sort slides, plan future snowshoe trips and hikes, and become an armchair mountaineer. The trouble with this is that if you spend more than a couple weekends in this fashion, you'll get out of shape. The only way to keep moving is to keep moving.
