All dogs were friendly, but we noted 3 plastic dog bags (empty) along the trail. Leave no trace folks. If you drop something, please pick it up. |

Minor swarm at the parking lot - applied the natural stuff once. Once underway, very minimal. Almost none at the top portion/ridgeline. |

 | Comments: |
Gorgeous day - saw many people going to the caves and cliffs portions of Percival and Morgan. About 15 people at the Morgan lookout site on departure. I usually like gradual ascents, but there were so many people on Morgan - I think I'll do Percival again just to avoid the crowds. The switchbacks at the top portions are forgiving compared to others. |
