With afternoon plans, I needed something close-ish.

I'd never been on on the Andrews-Kinsey Trail, so I through this together from the Lost Dog Wash TH.

The lower portion of the Sunrise Trail has never been a favorite of mine. Rocky and boring. Once you hit the saddle with the 136th street junction things get better.

Up on the Sunrise Peak, there was a half a dozen people. The eastern peak was open and I took a short break there.

The Andrews-Kinsey Trail is a super highway where you rarely have to look down at your feet it is so smooth.
This trail is worth a check if you are in the area, great views to the east and south.

The Western Loop Trail gains quite a bit of elevation, but is not too bad because of all the switchbacks. Also worth checking out.

Drop dead gorgeous weather. The trails were not too crowded.
