Chris invited me on this combo loop - Pass Mountain/Bulldog saddle. We started in the dark from the Meridian Trailhead and did the the CCW.

It was a vibrant sunrise to the southeast and the weather was pleasant. The came across 3 groups doing the same loop before we even hit the Pass Mountain trail.

The trail was in the usual excellent shape and we made good time. The cloudy skies gave way to a hazy day, but the scenery is always pretty nice along this one.

The volume of hikers, trail runners and bikers increased the closer we go the the Wind Cave TH. That was overflowing with parking lots full all the down to the main drive.

The southside of the loop was the usual rocky roller coaster, but we made good time.

Thanks for the invite Chris.
