Trip Report

We all met at the trailhead at 9:50am and got underway almost immediately. The trail is a lollipop loop, and very nicely built. We encountered mushy snow in the upper reaches, a bit slippery but more inconvenient than dangerous. The top was beautiful, sunny and almost hot - really! Not bad for late March. Special thanks to Steve Johnson for his assistance in making this a successful outing that was thoroughly enjoyed by all.
