Sheila, Jim, Ellen and Mike were the hikers
Short, steep, quick, warm and sunny. We hiked 3.7 miles averaging 2.15 MPH. 1725 elevation gain
The water was high, but we had no problem with the one stream crossing

The trip down was pretty steep, and the snow made it a bit tricky.

Awesome day! Thanks to Dwyer & wife Ellen for leading the bushwhack. Lots of barking in the woods that day. It was the start of hiking boot camp after many weeks of skiing and no hiking! Good times!
