I snuck out to Exit 32 this Mother’s Day morning to do Cedar Butte. Expecting a crowded road on the way back I parked in the little pullout just shy of the official lots and approached Cedar Butte via the trail that runs on the south side of Christmas Lake:
The Cedar Butte trail was a little muddy in spots but was otherwise in good shape. I saw no one on the way up and a few people coming down, but the area was far from crowded. Rain was just moving in as I was leaving so perhaps the forecast (and its being Mother’s Day) kept the crowds down.
Only about 4.5 miles but a decent workout and a fun morning. Track below.
