Solid uphill on Gold Ridge Trail #47 with some great views. We took a break near the top which was 20 degrees cooler than the lowlands below. First time on Gold Ridge trail and I was pleasantly surprised by the quality tread even though it’s quite steep in the middle section.

After the break we hiked over to the start of South Fork Trail #46 and headed down canyon. A few patches of snow at the very top to spice things up. Once in the drainage it was flowing and never let up all the way down. Some very nice pools along the way and on a warmer day a dip would have been a certainty. Lots of trail work has been done since my last trip into South Fork which made it much easier hike and follow. Kudos to the trail crew who put in the time and effort to bring back the trail!!
