Several muddy trail sections especially between Central Peak and Bullitt Fireplace. A few areas of treefall but easy to climb over or go around. Snow & icicles on vegetation & trees started at ~1500’ but by the end of our hike (around 12noon) snow melt dripped from the trees. At intersection of Central Peak trail and Old Griz Trail, posted sign says it is still closed.
We started from a trailhead in the Forest Rim subdivision that connected to the Bullitt Fireplace trail. From there, proceeded to Central Peak→Bullitt Fireplace→Perimeter trail→West Peak→Chybinski; then, back to our vehicle. A good route for a conditioner due to the interval-training-like profile of the up-down-flat-up-down-up-flat-down-up-down trail … sounds like a dance step and almost felt like that as we enjoyed the sun dappled, snow sprinkled forest as we tromped along. 6 miles, 1500’ gain, 3 hours
