Dog-Related Notes
Dog-Related Notes: None today. Just to share as a heads up Jackson did recently get Giardia. I'm a officially a failure as a doggy dad and a hiking guide. He doesn't drink from streams when we hike but the vet said it's everywhere right now and they literally had 6 or 7 stool samples that came back positive the same day as his. Be careful with the pups.  
Bugs
Bugs: NA 
Lost and Found
Lost and Found: Found a pair of black gloves between Willey and Field. We thought they likely belonged to two people who were behind us, so we put them in a clear spot on the side of the trail, turns out it wasn't them.  
 
Comments
Comments: Another temp inversion day in the notch, yay for -22 at the trailhead. Beautiful day though. Had a blast helping Bethanee snag her 28,29, & 30th 4Ks. Trails are in great shape. We had our snowshoes on door to door but everyone else we saw was in spikes. To each their own, I just like my televators. This trip report will self destruct in about 24 hours, thought it might help someone who's trying to beat the storm.
