    Weather’s been a little wet, which, along with the melt from the snowpack, has been good for wildflowers.

    I tend to just look at maps for off-trail options. Caltopo with ‘slope angle shading’ turned on helps a lot. The hike was tough, pretty much 1000’/mile up and down, with tons of deadfall everywhere. But it was nice having the place to ourselves, especially on a weekend here.

      that’s steep! i’ve come to appreciate slope angle shading after seeing it on some others’ Caltopo maps.
