Anti-Aircraft Peak Loop — Monday, Sep. 4, 2023

We started at the Harvey Manning trailhead and did a Shangri-La - Protector - Cougar Pass - Klondike - Lost Beagle loop.  (3.7 miles, shorter than the listed hike).  Trail conditions were excellent, with leaves starting to cover the trail.  Easy, flat hiking except a bit of a climb on Lost Beagle at the end.  Very nice picnic spot about halfway along the Bypass Trail on the north side (looks like a large campsite).  Blackberries ripe at first crossing of Clay Pit Road.  This is a lovely hike, especially if you like alder trees.  Plenty of parking on Labor Day.
