It's been years since I've done this hike. This time was quite a bit different than the past experiences because there was 2-4 feet of snow. I started on the service road but couldn't find the trail or the star on the side of the hill because of the snow covering the mountain. I just ascended the mountain the best I remember and then continued on up to the top of the first saddle which is well above where the star rests. It was a breathtaking view of the lower valley. It was snowing and about 15 degrees. On the decent I just went down the hill instead of retracing my steps. I saw quite a few mule deer on the hike.
