It had just snowed several inches the previous day, and had snowed this day in the morning as well, so there was a fresh coating of new snow. It actually continued snowing throughout the hike as a light snow. I parked at Reeves Meadow, and took the Pine Meadow Trail alongside the brook the the Stony Brook Trail. At the washed out bridge, I took the short connector trail connecting the Stony Brook/Kakiat Trail to the Pine Meadow Trail. I then continued up the mountain to the HTS Trail, which I took across the brook above the Cascade of Slid waterfalls, and then continued further in on the Kakiat Trail. I then crossed the brook at the Seven Hills Trail Concorrency, and then took the Pine Meadow Trail back down. I took this trail all the way to the trailhead parking.
