Short hike mid-day today at Sunrise, sourdough ridge, gusty winds at top of ridge and snow! Wildflowers still blooming,shows we always need be prepared for winter conditions. Glad I was! Mt R showed briefly inbetween snow and rain squalls. A trip to Sunrise is always worthwhile even when rainy/snowy.

Looking for warm, dry hiking with stunning views and a post-hike swim? Climb to the top of Steamboat Rock and ramble the butte top for dramatic views of Banks Lake and coulee country. Desert wildflowers and camping options sweeten the deal.
