Trip Report

This trips destination changed to Patterson Mt. I drove up to Horse Pasture earlier in the week and discovered snow on the road I could not drive through, so even in the intervening time it has melted the group decision was to do a different hike. We all enjoyed this hike very much. Trail is dry and the wild flowers were out in great numbers. We did not totally miss the view of the 3 Sisters, from the top we had a good view of Bachelor Butte, South, Middle, North and Black Butte. Thank you to the Forest Service or the Scorpions for clearing the down trees from the trail
