Revisiting one of our standard off-season hikes, we were impressed with the extensive trail improvements. Unfortunately, as mentioned by other trip reporters, easier access often brings an influx of untrained back-country stewards; the trash and feces were ubiquitous.
Nevertheless, in this early-morning solitude we listened to an agitated Varied Thrush scold Junior away from us, watched an American dipper feeding and a pika scurrying. The flowers are profuse and this place still holds plenty of magic if you time your visit right.
