10 miles of hiking • 2250' elevation gain •
Arrived at the Top Spur trailhead at about 9:40am. Trailhead parking was packed, so we went past the trailhead and parked on wider area on the side of the road.
We took our time hiking to McNeil point. Awesome views of Mt. Hood, lots of huckleberries, lots of wildflowers, and still a small amount of snow.
Wildflowers included paintbrush, lupine, avalanche lily, the fuzzy remanants of Western Pasque Flowers, and many more carpeted the upper areas of the trail in a fabulous carpets of purple, pink, red and white.
The trail overall was in very good condition. There were only a few areas where we had to go through either mud or snow.
