12.0 deg, smoky skies, gusty north winds.

Alpine flowers have faded in warm exposed locations, but still blooming in wetter cooler zones - Arnica, Monkey Flowers, Paintbrush, Asters, Lupins, Valerian, and heather. Small huckleberries ripening at tree line.

Trails are dry and dusty out there. All trails are open for mountain biking and hiking. Day use is welcome - trail donations include a cold Mt Begbie Kolsch at Sol Lake ! Dogs are not permitted in Monashee Provincial Park.
