 |
| The trail starts on planks through buttercups. |
 |
| Let's get this hike started! |
 |
| Even though it is past mud season, there was a lot of mud on the trails. The beginning of the hike is nice and level. |
 |
| There is a large cairn on the hike. Tradition is that everyone adds a stone to the cairn. |
 |
| And another growing cairn |
 |
| And of all things, there are 2 teepees on this hike. |
 |
| The intersection with the Pinnacle Meadows trail. Continue straight. At this point the hike is already grueling. |
 |
| A sign on the trail marks a vista, just a few steps off of the trail. Worth a stop. |
