Great views from the firetower, trail was just a wet muddy mess, (but easy to follow, as there were blazes or signs at all intersections along the way) saw 2 small bear cubs climb HIGH into a tree on our walk back to the car, no sign of mom, but I'm sure she was around somewhere! Nice day to be out and get some bugbites :) |
