We'll meet at OC Park and Ride 8AM and carpool to Mill Creek Ranger Station around 9-9:15AM or you can meet us there. After that, we'll drive to the trailhead together as no phone signal at the mountain and it's hard to find each other. Meeting time and driving direction at the end of the post. An Adventure Pass is required at the trailhead

Our Plan for this hike:
Distance: 3-5 miles
Duration: 3-4 hours
Elevation: 500-1000ft gain
Get few miles of snow hiking for fun and great workout...We'll hike a bit at Momyer trailhead, and at Vivian Creek trailhead to Big Falls. This report is very detail, read it FYI:
