 | Comments: |
Trail was mainly dry expect in the few wet areas. The mud pits are drying out pretty well and hopefully with some more sun will be dry soon. No views from the summit today due to some fog. Lots of wildflowers in bloom right now. I saw a couple dozen lady slippers, hobble bush, bunchberry and blue bead lily. Low bush blueberries are in bloom now as well. Looks like it will be a good crop this summer. |
