The weather forecast must of deterred hikers today. There were plenty of parking spots when I arrived at 7:00; when I left, with parking limitations, it made getting out on the deeply rutted road easier. On the trail there is only a couple of short sections of slick mud from the recent rain/snow. Creek crossings were a breeze compared to years past. Drizzly at first, once entering the larches, unique views opened up which made for a great hike! Larches appear to be mostly at peak, there are still some turning color. Trail had light traffic today and included 6 PCT thru hikers on their final days! All on the trail were friendly. Enjoy this fall hike while you can.
MISSING — if anyone found a pair of burgundy fleece The North Face gloves, let me know. They were lost likely within the first 2 miles on the trail or in the parking lot.
