First time hiking Ord since the fire. The road/trail has taken a beating with washouts, with an especially deep one that crosses the road completely at about the 2.5 mile mark. I was pleased to see that most of the damage to the trees doesn't seem to have affected the roots, which are sprouting new growth.

I arrived at the TH at 6:15 am. Another group of 3 was just getting geared up to head out and there were two other cars already there.

Above the junction with FR 626, the fire seemed to bypass the forested areas to the up to the summit.

Weather was nice for a day on this trail. The summit was slightly breezy and actually a little chilly.
