10 miles of hiking • 2250' elevation gain •

Hiked with my dad from the Hummocks to Johnston Ridge Observatory. Everything is so green right now, lots of flowers and ripe strawberries (& much more to come). Aside from JRO and another roadside viewpoint, saw only once couple on the trail, being parallel to the road it gets completely overlooked.

We got our wrist bands (required there) at Coldwater Ridge Visitor Center which saved the drive to JRO. CRVC is now open on Saturdays and Sundays, there's neat exhibits inside and movie room, and great view of the lake from the balcony.

Looks like a great day up there! Gotta get back again soon. Could see from Sister Rocks (on Saturday) that there was still a lot of snow up on Coldwater. Love that shot of the kid coming in on the kayak!
