This was the coldest day of the season. It was 12 degrees when we started, although it was sunny with no wind. We figured this hike would be really quick and we'd turn around as soon as we got too cold, but we made it about a mile in before we turned around. We parked at the trailhead at Lake Skanatati and took the Long Path and then turned around back along the same route.
