The afternoon weather looked great so we went out for a short pre-dinner hike, doing a lollipop loop starting from the Talus Connector up Bear Ridge and West Tibbett's Creek, then looping clockwise on Cougar Pass, Harvey Manning and Tibbett's Marsh before coming back out the same way we came in.
It was my first time out on the trails in a few weeks and Spring has definitely progressed - everything is looking more lush, many things are budding and there are quite a few flowers already blooming or starting to. There were quite a few trilliums, both the light purple and the white varieties, throughout the trail.
All the trails we did have drained nicely from the recent rains, with only a few minor mud spots on West Tibbett's and Cougar Pass - the rest is in perfect walking shape, not too dry but not soggy.
We encountered 4 parties throughout the whole 1.5 hour hike.
