We each chose to drive solo to meet at the quiet trailhead by 8:30am and soon set off for the Skogan Trail and Pigeon Mtn. Although the air was still, it was cool (+9c) in the shade and a comfortable walking temperature. The faster group waited at all the trail intersections as we made our way steadiy upwards to the north summit for an early lunch. We leapfrogged with 3 serious mountain bikers who had a much faster descent than us. The meadows were full of flowers.
For descent, 3 preferred to return to the cars the same way while the other 5 walked over to the south summit and down the broad south ridge to meet the Skogan Pass Trail higher up and then back to the cars.
