9.2 miles of hiking • 1500' elevation gain •
Some sun, some clouds,and a wonderful day. Took the Dick Thomas Trail over to the Two Chiefs trail up through the amphitheater of Table to the creek crossing of Greenleaf. Microspikes were handy in a few places but not required. The snow was about 6 inches once we hit about 1000 feet, but it is melting fast. Beautiful ice and snow formations. Great views through the openings in the trees at the amphitheater. On the way down we took a small side trip down the PCT to Greenleaf overlook. Great company and a magical first hike of 2016!
