I decided to head up to Ord today in order to find some cooler temperatures.

I started bright and early and was in the shade for the first couple of miles or so. It was cool and breezy at the summit, and I put on a windbreaker while sitting in the shade under the fire lookout for a snack break.

On the drive to the TH there was a car parked in the middle of the road shortly before getting to the TH. Fortunately the road was wide enough to have space to pull around it. The car was gone when I drove back out.

On the hike back a service vehicle for the towers at the summit came driving up the road. That was the only person that I saw all day.

The cooler temperatures were nice for this typical mid-week hike up to Mount Ord.
