To start off the 4th weekend. Picked the right trail-picked the right footwear-picked the right ride to get to the trailhead. The rest of the day, priceless. Late and heavy snows here, still make for a difficult time at altitude. While only about 5% of the day involved dealing with too much snow , when it happens, the trail disappears. I continued on the Pacific Crest Trail in both directions until the snow turned me around. Also hit a creek that a crossing would have been wet for sure. There have been few others up here and as I was headed down, I ran into two horse groups bringing supplies up for the summer trail maintenance crews. They better get a move on - it will start snowing again in September. Temps felt air conditioned at 70 with a breeze.
