Great day and not too crowded. We crossed the Sandy a bit further up on a log I could scoot across rather than the typical crossing. The mountain is still full of snow and we took the cut off near the falls, from the trail down to the Sandy and walked a ways along the bank to get a better look at the mountain. Some nice looking waterfalls up there, in the distance, right now and still snow on the tops of the cliffs along the river. On the trail, there just a few patches of snow, that were no problem at all and are melting fast. Beautiful mossy creeklets on the back half along Ramona Creek. A few Trilliums, some calypsos and a few blooming willows, were mostly it for flowers.
