- The trails at Sleeping Giant will be snow-covered and possibly muddy. The road to the lookout will be closed. However, you can hike to Sea Lion, and if you're a skilled hiker and determined enough, maybe all the way to Thunder Cape. The trails at Cascade will also be slushy, though if there's a melt, there might be quite a bit of dog poop on the trail. (7)
