Black flies were swarming at the parking area (possibly due to the puddle — see note on parking), but otherwise not bad. In fact most of the hike there were no bugs at all. |

Apparently I posted this yesterday but was so tired I put the mountain name as my name, LOL, and it got pulled. Anyway, trails were not nearly as muddy or bad as expected. You can easily avoid most of the mud. It was almost a perfect day. A little cold on the top, but otherwise nice. Pics on Instagram @quantum.moxie |
