My alarm didn't go off, so I got a late start (about noon). There were campers at Heaton Flats. It looked enjoyable.
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.
