Good hike, Ascent, 915-930a on old toll road about 10 people total, old toll road dry, 930a-10:16a White arrow trail to summit, stream bed contains flowing water, but no wet rocks anywhere along hike, roughly 8 people total during this portion of ascent, conditions good above tree line, some bumble bees attending to the wildflowers along last scramble, and in level low bush area before hand, some level areas slightly muddy. Summit somewhat hazy, visibility approx 30-40miles, some standing water in rock dips near "cellar". About 30 people on summit. 10:45a began descent, on final stair step portion below tree line, some conifers exceptionally sappy, take care when using as a brace. Overall about 20 people encountered during descent through white arrow and old toll road. |
