On the cusp of cooler weather, this was a really enjoyable solo overnighter to Happy Valley. Hauling water, I started rather late on Friday and made my way quickly to the clean and impressive dry camp. FYI a lot of skunk activity. The next day was pleasant but a longer journey than expected to the peak and back. Wonderful experience overall & summit! I scouted Kerry's backcountry climbing route up the north face for a possible follow-up someday. Saw deer, rattlesnake, tarantula victim to hawk, the aforementioned striped friends, turkey, and zero humans.
