Saw a sunny day
and grabbed the daypack. Two hrs door to trail head was not to bad and I found my self alone on the trail. Cool in the forest as a steadyy trail bed gained elevation. Soon broke out in mixed glades and meadows as the trail passed through 5000 feet or so. Lots of views as I gained the ridge area where there was a few last remaining snow patches and tarns. A new trail was dug going up what looked like a pretty steep trail section of Yellow Aster Butte. I headed up the newly dug switch backs and then straight up a path to the top as the newly dug trail bed went south east going toward Tommihoi lake. Nice views and breeze met me at the summit. Three hrs up two hrs down and a pleasent hr of lunch at the top. Nice walk with great views.
