Morning hike in the McDowells. It’s been awhile since I visited Sunrise. It hasn’t changed any… except for the residential development on the northeast slopes. :(

I woke up late and didn’t get to the Lost Dog TH until 5:30 :o I found out that the TH didn’t even open up until 5:11, so I didn’t miss that much trail time. Took Sunrise Trail up to the Peak. Nice views as always. Met some women hikers near the top and one enthused, “isn’t it amazing how quickly they’re building the homes (to the northeast). My response “isn’t it sad”. Probably not the response she anticipated. Funny how people see things differently. I wanted to get a few more miles so I took the “Y” east from Sunrise Peak and then followed the trail that goes along the base of the peak. That didn’t add much, so on the way back I took the Ringtail north to where it connected to Lost Dog Wash. Not a lot extra, but enough to get me over 7.

Very fortunate with the weather. Cloudy and breezy all morning. Temps probably never reached 90 while I was out there. Trails not too busy; 21 hikers and 1 amazing runner (met him as he jogged up the final stretch of Sunrise Peak :app: ). Even on my best days, ramped up on Mountain Dew, I couldn’t do that. No wildlife.
