After the Barnhardt Trail in the morning, I only had time for a brief stop to check out the snow conditions on the Rim. I knew that this was likely the last time I would get to use my XC skis for the season, so I went for about a mile through patchy, melting snow

The good part: One of the unnamed ephemeral streams that flows into Gordon Canyon Creek was overflowing with water! It was a beautiful sight that reminded me a lot of Pine Top and the White Mountains. It was warm at 53 degrees, so it's no wonder the snow is melting away. It's always a joy see snow and smell the pines in the high country. And at a warm 53 degrees, who wouldn't want that?
