Trip Report

Our 3 1/2 hour hike in the rain on trails 3, 4, 2, 1, and 7 had bright spots of wood violet, trillium, snow queen, fawn lily, and hound's tongue. One hiker wrote for a gallery photo of very wet and cold hikers, "We're contented having polished off Janet's awesome muffins! " It was amazing that muffins could change the rating of the hike to successful.
