9 miles of hiking • 2500' elevation gain •
Headed out east seeking some early flowers...was hoping for more, considering all the sun and rain (debbie downer here!). Had some great sun, a bit of rain, even some hail, and tons of wind. Went clockwise from Catherine, over Rowland lake, up Coyote wall, and back over to the western part of Catherine. Hope to do the full eastern Catherine Creek portion as well...with flowers!
