| no partners | | Bluebird day on the mountain. Had a 30 minute wait getting into the park around 9AM. Line was 2 miles long when we left in the afternoon! We hiked from Narada Falls up to Paradise then took the Golden Gate trail up to Skyline. Then over to the Lakes trail and down to Reflection Lakes. From there we took the Wonderland trail back to Narada Falls. A nice little loop. We prefer to do this loop clockwise as it gets the majority of the climbing done first. As expected, Paradise was a zoo overflowing with people. Skyline trail was jammed pack. We found periods of solitude on the Lakes trail which was nice. A few snow patches on the Skyline trail and while slippery, they didn't provide too troublesome. Other trails were in pretty good condition if not a little dusty. No bears today but we saw several marmots, deer, and grouse along our journey today. Flowers may not be at peak but were plentiful. Note that the regular restrooms are closed at Narada Falls but port-a-potties are available. |
