I decided to do my "go to" hike for distance, elevation gain, and social distancing.

It was a nice day for the hike -- it was 59 at the TH when I started at around 7:30, and I imagine that it was in the 70's when I got back.

As I was coming back down I met 2 hikers on FR 626, and a bit later I met a trail runner as I was descending on FR 27. Those were the only hikers that I encountered, although there was a maintenance worker at the summit doing something with one of the towers.

Unless sugar sumac is your thing, there wasn't much to see in the wildflower department. There were a few random flowers here and there though.
