10.0 deg, clear skies, calm winds. No smoke.

Yes, another splitter day to be in the alpine! A moose stopped by for morning coffee. Alpine flowers are fading in warm exposed locations, but in full bloom in wetter cooler zones - Arnica, Monkey Flowers, Paintbrush, Asters, Lupins, Valerian, and heather. Azalea is blooming too.

Trails are in great condition. All trails are open for mountain biking and hiking. Day use is welcome - trail donations include a cold Mt Begbie Kolsch at Sol Lake !
