Jumbo, Sunrise, Juniper Peak & back, from south trailhead mentioned on OH. Trails were rutted from motorcycles and brushy in parts (esp. part near Dark Mtn), but high points of the hike were spectacular. Saw many goats on Jumbo Peak. Still some snow around - once it melts most of the trail will have no water, and will be challenging for camping. Only met 1 group of motorbikers so it was a quiet hike; more tried to go up from Quartz Cr Ridge but were stopped by steep drifts.
