Todays hike.

The Bear Grass and other wildflowers are blooming up from the trailhead. With increasing elevation the veg went from early summer to late winter .

Ran into a confused Mom. I flushed her three little kids at a point on the trail. She (Spruce grouse) came up to me looking for them. I told her were they went but wouldn't listen.

I tried to flush her but she ran up the trail ahead of me I would stop and admonish her so she would run back to me with a confused look on her face.

This happened 3X. Finally I flushed her back down the trail towards her kids.

Ran into the remnant snow banks ~200 ft. below the saddle. The snow was deep & rotten and covering the trail for a distance so I bypassed two biggest fields walking along the edges in the melted off open parts. Finally got up on the saddle near the view point where I was heading.

Nice views as always, still lots of snow up high & you could see other mountain ranges ~100 mi. away in all directions.

Yeah, the only upside so far as it hasn’t been warm enough consistently for mosquitoes to hatch in huge numbers. Wait for it…

Except for tropical storms and hurricanes our weather stays pretty much the same year to year. We all pretty well know what to expect but we have to have something to gripe about. Come July and August our temps will be the high 90's to low 100's and dry. Usually our winters are fairly mild with maybe a few days in the high teens and a fair amount of rain.
