Mount Rose — Saturday, May. 4, 2013

Olympic Peninsula > Hood Canal
Very good day for a hike 80 degrees; trail is steep but great way to start the spring hiking. At the horse camp chose the left 1.2mi steep trail and come back the 1.6mi. Trail up was marked ok just had to really look for orange flags as the snow was melting and the footprints were not easy to see. The Summit was awesome with great rock outcroppings that allowed great views. The trail down was not mark very good at all, probably the worst marking I have every seen had to just work my way down through the snow into the draw and work my way to the sound of the waterfall to reach the horse camp again. Legs are still stiff tough hike for the first one this year.
