4.5 miles of hiking • 1250' elevation gain • 1 night

A quick trip to Bull of the Woods. Left work, hit traffic, but made good time - those last few miles look like they have a lot of new gravel - I had fun messing with my traction control :)

I was going to do a loop, but snow started at 4800ft, and, well, I've had enough for this year. The mosquitoes are out in force - I ended up hiking 2 miles in up past Dickey Lake since all the Pansy spots had been taken, zipping up my mosquito mesh and reading while I watched hundreds of the 'lil buggers swarm around. I'd give this one at least two weeks to let the snow finish off and the mosquitoes to die down.
