Fire warden does not have a sign- a sharp turn just at a yellow blaze on n twin. Good trail conditions overall. |

 | Comments: |
4-6" snow much of trail- very wet. Missed the summit due to late start/turnaround time. Fire warden is unmarked but easy to follow; appreciate the apparent blowdown clearing with fresh cuts. Pleasant, rolling incline heading up Fire Warden - rocks snowed over; watch footing but generally easy in snow. |
