We did a nice afternoon hike up to Third Burroughs Mountain. The trail is now almost completely snow free. Two small spots of snow (one of which will probably be gone within a few days) on Second Burroughs. The larger snow field on Third Burroughs is melting rapidly and a (slightly muddy) trail now leads through it. We returned via Emmons Overlook and the spot of snow mentioned in a previous trip report is now easily crossed.
We spotted a large group of Mountain Goats far out on First Burroughs, and Second Burroughs is alive with lots of chipmunks! Wildflowers seem at their peak in the valley between Emmons Overlook, past Shadow Lake and back up to Sunrise. We had no problems with bugs today :)
