6.89 miles of hiking • 3000' elevation gain •
The parking lot was full on a Monday. I resisted the urge to leave, and hopped in line up the Dog Mountain trail. I actually didn't see as many people as seemed to be parked at the trailhead. The balsamroot seems to be finishing up, but, there is nice phlox near the top. To my surprise, I had complete solitude on the Augspurger trail back to the trailhead.
