Started at 9:30. There were ten of us and we did our best to practice social distancing. We encountered a few people on the way up to Cardigan. It was very windy on the summit so we did not linger for very long; there were only 6-8 people on the summit besides our group. We had lunch on a ledge above the Fire Warden’s Cabin to get out of the wind. Plenty of painted trillium and saw a small patch of goldthread near Firescrew. Cardigan is one of our favorites! |
