It had rained the day before, and when we got to the mountain we discovered that that meant snow at altitude.  A little at the trailhead, a few inches sticking to the ground higher up.

Hike was a lot of fun.  Mile-long trail to start, ending with a gully scramble.  Fire road beyond that.  The winter wonderland around us contrasted with the emerald green of the countryside around the mountain.  Met a lot of friendly folk.

If you stay in Calistoga before or after this hike, I highly recommend the Inn on Pine.
