Olympic Peninsula > Hood Canal

Trail is snowfree except for one tiny patch near the summit. There are considerable snow patches around Camp Windy. Trail in superb condition. Flower display good, but not as spectacular as it often is around this time - perhaps a combination of dry winter and lack of late spring sunshine. Lots of rhodies in bloom along FS 27 on the way in, but the ones along the trail are just starting to show color. They should be out in a week or two. Fog never lifted at the summit today, and was accompanied from time to time with heavy mist or light drizzle.
