Even with last night's rain, all were easy rock hops. The Little River was flowing but didn't seem noticeably higher than it was last Saturday. |

Both trails are in really nice shape. A few step overs on Fire Warden's but even us short folks won't find them challenging. |

This would be a great hike for doggos. It was my own dog's very first 4K. :) |

Not bad in the morning but as the day warmed up the black flies and gnats showed up. |

I was hoping Scott had left me a pizza on the summit since he was out yesterday so I started nice and early to go in search of it. The North Twin trail was muddy from the rain and the usual spots had some running water but things were in nice shape. The rocks on both trails were wet from the rain and the humidity kept them from drying out. All the roots were slick as well so I was cautious descending. Sadly, there was no pizza but I had the summit to myself and there was a nice breeze in several spots along the way which I took full advantage of. I made it home nice and early and since I got no summit pizza, I was home in time to make my own pizza dough for a bacon, onion, tomato, and mushroom pizza. Life is very good. |
