Searching for some sunshine, we decided to head out to Powell River and check out Tin Hat Mountain. We started from the TH described in 103 Hikes, and I think the most common for Tin Hat, on the North end of Lewis Lake. We drove past the trail a couple times but eventually found it and a place to park on the FSR.
Trail was in pretty good shape, as it sounds like most of the SCT is, but a few big deadfalls on the lower part of the trail in the first few kms. We took our snowshoes because we figured there would be some snow up top and not sure how much, but we never put them on as they likely would have been more hindrance than help. Patches of snow in the last km, but most pretty minor and a lot of them could be avoided.
We thought we'd stay in the hut because we had never been in one and wanted to try one out. Pretty decent sleep, though it was a little crowded; 11 people in the loft and 1 sleeping downstairs! Started to get overly warm early in the morning so we woke up pretty early and headed outside to have some breakfast before heading up to the summit for sunrise. Views were a little clouded the day before but the morning was amazing, with clouds blanketing many of the valleys and the snowy peaks rising above. We had a great time, get out there and check it out! :)
