I’ve been hiking for decades and it’s my 2nd time here. I drove 3.5 hrs just to get here being from the Seattle area.
It’s not completely bloomed yet I guess I was a week early.
It’s all uphill which I expected. It was windy and cold around 2 pm when I started hiking. I had to turn around past the Puppy Dog view point as it was getting late. Lots of people hiking with dogs.
Then suddenly a cub crossed my path 20-30 ft in front of me! I thought it was just another dog then quickly realized it was a cub! He stopped for a moment as I get ready for my phone to take a pic of him the he started hopping and away from me!
This is my first ever sighting of a bear/cub in my hikes. Just be aware of surroundings.
