A couple Sundays ago I went up Verstovia. When I got up that morning, it was foggy out, but I went any ways.
I started up the trail in the clouds at about 8:10 or so. I headed up the trail and got above the clouds a bit over 1000 feet elevation. It was about that time when I started getting into snow. The snow was not as deep but softer than it had been when I was up there two weeks prior. Which made it easier to get up the trail. When I got to the second view point, I could see a little bit of the bench there, but it was still mostly covered in snow.
I ran into a couple of people coming down as I was getting to the tree line. When I got up to Picnic Rock, I could see that the clouds went out as far over the ocean as I could see, but they didn’t go all the way up Indian River Valley. It took me about 1 hour and 35-40 minutes to get to Picnic Rock. After I walked around on the soft snow by picnic rock, I walked down the hill a little ways to a spot that was free of snow and in the sun. I hung out there for a couple of hours, then I walked back to picnic rock and down the trail.
On my way down the trail I ran into several people heading up. It was still cloudy by the time I got to the trailhead, but it wasn’t foggy any more.
