 | Comments: |
This is a fantastic loop any time of the year, but especially on a day warm enough to absorb some Vitamin D on the many ledges. The kids and I took our time and enjoyed a good sunning on each summit. Only saw one group of three hikers all day. Lots of frog eggs in the vernal pool between Big Ball and Black Snout. With the dry conditions, we were able to fully enjoy the rock hopping around Mt Flagg! |
