15 miles of hiking • 3000' elevation gain • 2 nights

3-day hike with a little trail RX. Oak woods were quite gold but the best color is still ahead (this or next weekend), the larches - ones that I saw - just started to change color. The trail above the camping area to Flag Point is completely clear of blowdown (!), would like to know who did such a huge work. I removed 19 logs (small and mid-size stuff, still many left) on the lower part of the trail. Lots of yellow jackets that were a bit of problem at camp, but likely gone by now. Got about 3 hours of rain Saturday p.m. but otherwise it was excellent, dry and mostly sunny weekend.
