Why You Should Go Now
Wildflowers blooming
Trail shot about 2 miles in
Hiked into 5-mile camp early Sunday morning for an overnight trip. The trail is in great shape except two small muddy patches. We passed two National Park employees who confirmed the fire around 10 miles in was smoldering/no threat. However, I advise calling the ranger in advance to confirm the situation has not changed.

We used this as our first backpack trip of the season. It's of moderate length and elevation which makes a perfect season starter.
