What a super-duper day! Perfect temps, sunny & blue skies, great group, great trails. Everything required for an awesome day out in the mountains.

Thanks Ed for navigating us around the tangle of trails. We got the major elevation gain over with on the first part up Coal Mine trail. Nice views and finally I got to see the remainder that was obscured through the winter by avalance risk.

Ticks! Many ticks! They are out in full force right now. We found one while sitting for lunch, another brushed off onto a pantleg while walking through low bush. Remember to check yourself over after hiking at this time of year

Onward to Troll Falls and beyond! As always, scenic and interesting. Still one of my favorites :)

Special thanks to those who helped picked up trash along the way. We left the trails in better condition than we found them today.
