Pinos, Sawmill, and Grouse

Started at around 8am.  Felt like it was somewhere in the low 50’s at the beginning, but by midday it had warmed up enough to take the jacket off..  Heavy breeze came and went the whole time I was out there.  The trail to Pinos was clear and easy to navigate from start to finish.  Some bugs in the forest areas, but nothing too annoying.  Decided to keep going and do the 3-2-1 Challenge that someone else here mentioned.  Pinos to Sawmill was clear except for one random, small patch of snow.  Sawmill to Grouse was a little bit more interesting — lots of pine needles on the ground made the trail seem to almost disappear a few times.
