Bill and I hiked to Mt. Townsend on this very hot summer day. We started from the upper trailhead which was packed.
The wildflowers are starting to bloom but the rhodies have not bloomed yet. The only snow we encountered was at Camp Windy otherwise the trail is snow free. There was one large blowdown which was passable and several other minor small ones.
We had a nice breeze at the top but in spite of this, there were some very annoying small biting flies. They got their share blood from me!
The views are awesome at the top. This is one of our favorite hikes and we do it nearly every year.
