Type of Hike
Day hike
This was a 4.5 mile round trip with about 500 to 600 feet of elevation gain/loss. The trails are mostly dried out from the wet spring with very few mud holes that have not hardened.
The spring rains did bring out flowers, phlox, trillium and bleeding heart were in evidence. The trees are all decked out with spring leaves and the scent of spring was in the air on this sunny day. It took about 1.75 hours to do the hike sans pack and with light hiking shoes.
Saw several hikers on the trail to Wilderness Peak and one man resting on the bench at the summit.
A great walk and a nice sunny day for a walk.
