I had a great time hiking from JRO to Coldwater Peak on Sunday. I appreciated the high clouds that kept it cool and breezy. I saw just a few people, and most of them were not past Harry's Saddle. I saw no one past Rock Arch Saddle and I had the peak to myself. I was surprised to see western pasqueflowers blooming along the trail up Coldwater Peak. Those are my favorite wildflowers- how interesting to see them so early in the year! On the way back, I realized I had not hiked on the Truman trail from JRO area, so I will be back soon. I just love the MSH area!
