Comments
Comments: Cool start but warmed right up. Very warm later with nice breeze, very hazy smoke from Canada limited views. Trails really dry, quick to Glen Boulder, long climb to the scrubs then fairly easy to Slide Peak. I don't know what's worse the climb down or back up. Some mud in all the usual places but easy to get by without getting muddy as its really dry. Very few on top, I spent maybe 45 mins enjoy the hazy views. Very warm here with a nice breeze. Passed several groups heading up, then the climb begins...slow & steady. I took a chance & went down to the spring which was a quick easy down as I was really low on water. Not flowing much but there was a pool where you could fill up. Then just the climb back out no issues. Thanks to all the maintainers, these trails are in great shape until the next rains fill up the muddy spots!!

Completed my 7th Round!
