Fresh from Mount Saint Helena, I met up with a training run for the Broken Arrow Sky Race for a 9 am start. The parking lot was packed, and there were many individuals and groups on the trails throughout the park. Trails were in good condition, with only a few muddy spots, and all areas we encountered were passable. We went up Mitchell Canyon Trail through the Juniper Campground and Juniper Trail to Summit Trail. It was chilly at the top, but we were rewarded with nice clear views. From the summit, could see Mt Saint Helena, where I was hiking about six hours previous. Only a trace amount of snow remained on the peak from the recent storms. However, the snowy Sierra peaks were clearly visible from the summit. We retraced our steps down to Mitchell Canyon. The creeks were flowing well and I look forward to catching the waterfalls on a later trek.
