Ending the 2022 challenge at High Point

Snow did not show up until we were about 3.5 miles up from trail head.  Most of the snow turned mush on our way down.  There were a few on their motorcycle but did not go up past the gate as it was closed.  There was one cyclist that made it to the tower and a runner just before we left.  There were no other hikers around.  We had the trail mostly to ourselves.  We saw bird tracks and potentially a raccoon track.
