Trip Report

Good early morning hike with only 2 participants. With clear weather and temps around 39 degrees we started from the west TH. Do to several trails still closed this was a bit modified with us going up trail 1 to the summit and down trail 6. We then headed east on the 46 trail to where it intersects trail 4 and followed trail 4 to its end. From here we joined trail 7 to the north TH and back to the parking lot by following the river. This ended up being a 7.34 mile hike with elevation gain of 1896 feet. It took 3 hours. Beautiful day with great views and lots of wild flowers.
