Pics.
Saw no one until after I started down from the peak. A few trail runners with a dog, a few groups of hikers, etc. The dogs name was Trotsky I believe. It was scared to pass me so the owner had to drag him past, growling. I guess it knew I wasn't a Bolshevik

On the Upper Winter Creek trail I ran into a group of 8 or so young men and women doing trail maintenance - thanks! I had brought my loppers along but only used them a few times to get rid of annoying low hanging branches. The trails are in superb condition.
