Started from the Meridian TH and hiked westbound into Usery with some shade at first and then the sun on my back rather than in my eyes. Took the Pass Mountain Loop Trail over to Blevins, where I soon saw a D-back sunning itself on the trail not bothered by me. I gave it wide berth and moved on.

Hiked the Vista Trail and took half of the Merkle loop back to Blevins, then took that and Meridian over to Cat Peaks Traill and headed back on the Pass Mountain Loop Trail. I hiked the Meridian Interpretive Trail by there to get an extra half mile in and make it a respectable 8 miles for the day, all before 9:30am. Got off the trails before the heat started to kick in.

More hikers than bikers, but traffic overall was pretty light. The D-back was the highlight of the morning. Meridian lot was surprisingly full when I got there before 6am and empty when I got back.
