| no partners | | Got an early start at the trailhead at 8AM. Passed two guys at the lake and then didn't see anybody until I headed back. Lots of bear scat in the meadows but alas no bears. Saw what looked to be elk or deer tracks as well. Scared some grouse up just before breaking into the meadows. I had done this hike once before but we turned left on the North Loop trail instead of right. Today I turned right and did the extra half mile to a great view point. Definitely worth the effort. Great views along this trail even if flower season is over. Bugs were buzzing around and I had put on bug spray at the car so I didn't get any bites. Maybe my scraggly beard scared them off. Was a very hot hike. Finished all 3 liters of my water along the hike. Road is in good condition. It's dusty but doable in any vehicle I think. Met lots of friendly people on the way back. |
