Karl went hiking May 26, 2014 12 miles 3,000 feet gained
Woke up to mostly clear skies, but that all changed by the time we hit the Grassy Knoll trailhead. It was a misty start, but developed into a full-on gale by the time we hit the knoll. Sort of bypassed that, hoping it'd be better on the way back, and continued on northward. The conditions gradually improved, and became downright pleasant after a while. The wildflower show is still far from peaking up there, with many not even leafed out yet, much less coming into bud. But there were scattered patches of pretty nice displays, some made all the better by the downpours. The road into GK is in better shape than I remember from 2-years ago, although still pretty pot-holey in places. No downed trees across it this time, or other paintjob-threatening overgrowth, at least.
