5.7 miles of hiking • 1500' elevation gain •
Hot day but awesome hike. The road to north trailhead got a bit worse yet this year - if you head there take the car with biggest clearance you can. Beargrass is still good on the upper meadows and around the summit, other flowers starting great on the lower trail and will get much better in the next couple of weeks. Today was a bit hazy, which limited views (especially to the West) but made for a great sunset.

Thanks for the flower update. I try to watch this mountain closely each summer to time it for the peak flower show.
