 | Comments: |
It was a perfect day to be out for our first hike of the year, with so much sunshine I got a sunburn. Crazy traffic on the trail though with lots of loud groups. I didn't realize how truly popular this route is. Red and white painted trillium is out and the hobble bush is flowering. Nice to see. |
