Got started with Jill from one of the Bulldog lots just before 0730. Saw seven mule deer on our way over to the loop trail. Made our way south on Pass Mtn Loop, then up Wind Cave trail. Less people than I had anticipated. Saw nobody once we passed the cave, and it stayed that way for the rest of the hike.

Went to the south summit first, then we made our north on the ridgeline. Very breezy. Short break at the summit. Managed to stay upright on the gravel on the steep descent. Easy walk back to the truck. Saw one snake just before we finished. Jill was not happy with me when I touched it to get it away from the trail so she would walk past it. I always like the ridgeline in cooler temps, good choice for today.
