 | Comments: |
Trails were mostly dry with some minor mud. Some wildflowers in bloom, such as hepatica on Ramsey Trail and trailing arbutus.
A pre-7AM start resulted in only seeing 4 people. Decent morning weather with occasional breaks of sunshine. Figure 8 loop resulted in 7 miles and about 1,550 vertical feet. |
