 | Comments: |
Alpine flowers are at peak bloom right now, in particular in the Alpine Garden. Excellent patches, as well, along Davis Path and atop Boott Spur.
Other than the typically wet scramble sections on Lion Head Trail below treeline, the usual open stream bed section of Alpine Garden Trail, and the disintegrating bog bridge muddy portions of Boott Spur Trail, trails were almost bone dry. |
