Went up from the west access and got up to the top of the Ridge's west side, 2900', but at the base of the hill to the tower, the road was still shaded and full of snow. I turned around at the snow and returned along the reservoir infrastructure and Sultan Basin Road. Timber work has been ongoing and some road repairs made.  Afternoon convergence stayed south of Highway Two. Was a dry ride. Views of Pilchuck and the Puget Sound were nice. Track and pics here.
