Went in to the saddle junction quickly after work this afternoon. Madera was practically deserted. The trail has received recent maintenance and was quite passable, albeit steep. Not much in the way of wildflowers or wildlife but there was some unexpected snow just below Hopkins, much to my t-shirt and shorts-clad chagrin. This is a good trail for testing your lactate threshold, for those that train and benchmark that way. It's steep, but it's wide, well-maintained, and brief making it ideal for running a heavy pack in a scenic spot away from the sun. Lots of water in the creek and some nice wafts of fragrant smoke from some of the houses back in there made for a pleasant journey back out...
