Had been a long time since getting to this trail. Shocked there aren't more people considering the beauty and low difficulty. Was planning Baldy for this day but the group voted for this instead. Can't blame them.

We then started the west fork loop trail but ended up on another trail that wasn't on either map I had. Off trail back to loop. Was nearly back before resistance was raised and we turned around.

Just two others made the turn with me when we returned to the jct. So we continued along a diff W Fork trail under the constant threat of a storm. Made it to the next TH & back without much rain. Worked out well, allowing various options.
