| no partners | | I decided to head up to Flag and hike up to Humphreys again. This time I went from the Inner Basin, a route that I like much better than coming from Snowbowl.
There is no snow left on the Inner Basin Trail, although there were a few drifts alongside the trail. The Weatherford Trail is completely snow free -- I was thinking that there might be a little snow left on the trail on the east side of Agassiz, but that was not the case.
It was a nice day for the hike, although clouds started in build in the late morning. On the way back there were a few rumbles of thunder as I descended the Inner Basin Trail, and I got rained on when I got into the open area of the Inner Basin. I stopped for 10-15 minutes in the shelter in the Inner Basin and waited until the rain stopped.
I hardly saw anyone on the hike until I got to Agassiz Saddle. There were quite a few people coming up as I descended from Humphreys down to the saddle, and I had to stop a number of times to let uphill hikers come through. I do not recall ever seeing so many people on this section of the trail.
It was nice to escape the heat of the VOS and do this hike again! |

Wildflowers Observation Isolated There were a few flowers here and there, but it is a bit early yet in this area. |
