 | Trail Maintenance Notes: |
Trails in great shape. Looks like recent work on the SRK Greenway; new ropes were added to the steep sections to facilitate getting up and down the steep section; much appreciated. |
|
 | Dog-Related Notes: |
Cooper had much fun, especially rolling in the remaining snow on the ski trails. Much needed for cooling off and eating after the heat of the day. |
|
 | Bugs: |
They were buzzing and annoying when stopped. But, stiff winds kept them at bay, especially when ascending and descending the ski trails; winds from the north really helped keep the bugs off. But on the opposite side of mountain with less wind, bugs were pretty annoying (got out the nets). |

 | Comments: |
Went up/down the ski trails, specifically Wild Ride to Blueberry patch (I believe). Wild ride is a terrain park trail, and has multiple mounds of snow remaining from the ski jumps. Nice to have a little snow to walk on again.
SRK greenway was in great shape and may have had recent work after winter. Hiked up to the high point of Ragged off the west ridge trail E. Hike over to the bulkhead was very buggy, got out of there (no wind). |
