8.5 deg C. Partial clouds. Moderate west wind.

What a time to be in the alpine. Flowers are still blooming at higher elevations and on north facing slopes. Globe flowers have micro dosed and are now hippy heads ! Paintbrush, asters, arnica, lupin, red monkey flow, red stemmed saxifrash on ridges, and some dwarf fireweed.

Hiking is open. Trails are open to mountain biking, Infinity north side of ridge is open with a few snow patches in gullies. The ice is off the lake! Day-trippers are welcome - all trail donations include a cold beer at Sol Lake. Please park up the road from our guest parking area.
