I had not hit up the Micky D's in awhile and the temps cooperated. I did the CCW loop from the Gateway TH passing the normal crowd that was doing the Gateway Loop. Off of that section, I only saw 2 people and none on the east side of the passes.

All the recent rain has turned the desert into what looks like Ireland with all the green. Also was surprise at the amount of flowers that were blooming.
