Beautiful sunny day. It was hat, but most of the trail was in shade so it was pleasant. The trail was well traveled and maintained. Amazing boulders and massive rock piles all along the trail. I especially liked a few spots that provided spectacular views. The best part of the day was seeing all the streams full and little waterfalls cascading down across the trail. In particular part of the trail, all I heard was the relaxing sound of water rushing and as I left it, the sound softened. But just as it fell silent I heard the next stream ahead begin to murmur. And with each step I took it grew louder and louder. I stopped and stood just mesmerized by the loud rushing sound of the crystal clear water spilling over the rocks. Mountain streams always have a way of relaxing and refreshing my spirit. Definitely my favorite part of the day. I loved that the trail was out and back since I was able to experience the streams two times.
Topping out offered pretty amazing panoramic views, but they could have been more spectacular if not for a bit of haze.
Overall a great day and amazing weather.
Only San G left to go.
