Forecast called for partly cloudy skies so I took the chance on Sunrise. Arrived around 10.15 am on a Sunday and the parking lot was about half full. Lot was packed when I got back around 3 with more cars streaming in.
It was cold in the morning - windy with gusts up to 20mph according to the forecast and temps in the low 40’s. Please be sure to check the forecast and bring the appropriate gear - there were some folks in more summery clothes who were shivering/talking about how they didn’t expect the cold. One of those days where I was glad to have a light puffy and a shell.
4.5 hours round trip for third Burroughs via sourdough ridge and sunrise rim trail coming back, at a moderate pace and including a 30min lunch break. Forgot to set Gaia for about half a mile so it inaccurately clocked 8.35 miles and 1800ft total ascent. Great day out!
