15.5 miles of hiking • 4250' elevation gain •
Nice trail for a rainy day....except no views. Took Mult Falls straight up to Larch, made a balloon loop through the Larch crater trail, reconnecting with the Mult spur trail and Larch Mtn trail back to the falls. In bloom were rhodies, beargrass, vanilla leaf, avalanche lillies (first this season for me!), penstamon, bunch berries, huckleberries, and surprised to see a couple patches of columbine as well. Also, couple small patches of snow along the crater trail.
