The river was still flowing well! I would have enjoyed a dip in one of the pools if it wasn't already so late in the day.

Starting up the trail, the multiple suns were already high in the sky.

I found the trail quite lovely, although the warm weather recently had diminished the air quality somewhat.

After a few hours, I figured I ought to put on some sunscreen.

Though I did find patches of shade along the way, in the cool pines. We even saw some deer! What a treat

From the summit, the views were great in all directions.

I didn't take many pics on the way down, as it got dark and I needed to put some fleece on to ward off the chill! Anyway, it was a great trip and I don't understand why some people chose not to hike this weekend.
