 | Comments: |
Trails were generally in good condition, though there was some mud in places. Everything was well blazed and signed. A few of the scrambles going up the north side of Bear Mountain were wet, but most of them were dry and the rocks were grippy. Weather was cool with a breeze, but nothing too bad. No ice or snow anywhere. Only a few plants have started to bloom this early. Plenty of people out today.
Always fun to revisit this one! |
