Report
Started from Little Quilcene Trailhead, Summit of Townsend, Hit the ridgeline to Hawk Peak and dropped down to Tubal Cain trail. Each carried 2litres of water and filtered out of Tull Canyon creek at mile 8. Moved quickly down to the Tubal Cain trailhead and up Dirty Face to connect back to the car.
We got very favorable early season low snow conditions and a clear morning followed by some foggy socked in ridge climbing that made water rationing very easy. High temps of just above 60 all day that also helped us move quickly.
We were a trio moving together all day, and saw less than 15 people out there over the whole route.
This was my second time on the route and we were able to knock over an hour off of my previous time.
