Comments:a relatively easy, if longish, loop. not a lot of elevation climb, except for the side trip up to fall mtn. lookout. i love a view. very mild day, until 150 yds. from fall mtn summit, where it became deep winter very quickly; 40mph sustained winds.
crossing 395 twice inconvenient. walked a ways east on the 196 to see how far it was plowed (can't ski). went a long ways, possible to dry soda lookout, see next post.
navigating the ski area roads back to summit can be a little confusing.
