| Comments: |
A change in plans left me with a morning free, so made a quick trip up and down. The canopy has leafed-out fully now. Saw the first Lady Slippers of the season.
NOTE: Express Trail in unmarked, so unless you're an experienced hiker or familiar with the route, the middle section over a rock-field is easy to miss. If attempting this with small kids or other distractions I would suggest hiking with someone familiar with the route. |
