5 miles of hiking • 1250' elevation gain •
Did a loop on Silver Star with my parents yesterday, up Ed's Trail, down old road, skipped the last rocky bit to the summit. Tried Dole Valley approach this time (see the attached link) - very good gravel road, not a single pothole! Of course, the last rocky 2 mile road stretch is still there, but this alternative approach completely avoids the "pothole alley" above Sunset Campground.
The flowers are just past peak, near their best.
