Overcast/Drizzly/Foggy day with temps in the 40s. Started from Herman Creek and hiked up Nick Eaton Ridge, over to Indian Point, then back down Gorton Creek Trail. Took a short detour on the way back to check out the bridge over Herman Creek for a little extra distance and elevation gain. Nice day to be on the trail, despite what many would consider bad weather. There was a couple of inches of snow on the upper stretches above 2600-2800', but nothing that warranted traction devices.
