The first winter storm of the season was in full swing when we reached Mount Davis shortly after nightfall. The steps up the observation tower were coated in ice and the wind at the top was bitterly cold. We got lost on the way out, since the roads are unmarked and the snow had covered our earlier tracks.
We made random guesses at several intersections, and after driving by trailheads we didn't pass on the way in, and after crossing a bridge we hadn't seen before, we finally made it back to town.
