Another Busy Spring Saturday
Clear and Cool



PLAN AHEAD BE PREPARED SO YOUR TRIP GOES WELL
Before you come to the park please visit the Park's web-site and view some of the very informative pages about how to plan and prepare your visit to the Park. I have a link to the Park's website over on the right side of my blog. If you have pets look for the Park's page all about bringing pets to the Park. If you are going to be backcountry camping look at the Park's pages on camping. Weather forecasts for the Park can be very different than even for towns just a few short miles away because of the elevation. The Park posts weather forecasts for above 2,000 feet on one of its pages. The Park offers all kinds of wonderful interpretation programs. The details of these programs can be found on the Park's website. If you are going up Old Rag you should check out the great podcast the park has about hiking Old Rag on its web site. HikingUpward.com has a great website reviewing many of the local hiking trails. There is a link to its Old Rag Mountain Hike over in the links section of my blog.




Once again another very busy parking lot.


Forsythia still blooming.



Next two pictures are looking back on the first false summit from below the cave.

If you know where to look you can see a hiker and a pack at the top of the Chute

Looking down towards Etlan.

One of the last snow patches.

Pictures of blowdowns for the trail maintainers.
