I haven't been able to hike much lately due to the combination of the day job (with a daily 2 hour commute), crappy weekend weather and a ongoing plantar fasciitis. When Friday turned out so gorgeous and practically cloudless, I had Mount Dickerman on the brain. Although the view from the summit is always worth the trip, cloud cover has been an issue for every excursion this year.
We left about 8 AM and it was very foggy on the drive through Snohomish to Mountain Loop highway. The nippy temperature of 37 degrees at the trail head had me don on a sweat shirt, however I doubted I would need it with the plethora of switchbacks for the few couple miles. I was correct and it ended up hanging from my belt for all but 20 minutes of the hike. 
I was quite surprised to see snow cover towards the summit. but someone else was certainly into it. It seemed to cling to sides of the trail as a decoration and prelude of things to come ... soon.
Great shots with the cloudless blue sky.
Bogie rarely climbs into the back seat of the truck but he did after this hike. He stayed back there until we pulled into the driveway. Love those hikes that feed the body and and soul.
