Spray Park 8-24-08
What a perfect hike! All I can say is it could not have been any better!
Got up early and left house by 6:00 AM got to trail head at 7:30. Road to Mowich was wonderful, never had it that good, no potholes, drove 40-45 most of the way. About 10 cars when I pulled in most camping I think. P
eople were in such a good mood, everyone I came in contact with was so happy! It’s got to be weather and scenery! I had other plans Saturday the good hot weather day but figured I could get in a good hike before the rains hit and I timed it just right. This was my 5th time to Spray Park and by far the best trip ever!
Clear to see mountain most important, lots of animals 1 deer, 3 marmots, 2 camp robbers, lots of wild flowers and I had about 2 hours to myself at spray park meadows before heading down and 30+ people coming up. Nice breeze means hardly any mosquitoes. Flowers get better the higher you get but I can tell fall is coming. Only a few avalanche lilies left. I would like to get to Echo Rock sometime but today the rain was a coming so I headed down. It did start raining by the time I got to pavement so it was amazing timing. Great day on the trail. About 8 miles maybe as little more 4 blisters… wore wrong socks! Dang it.
