The six of us started out at 9:30 on a beautiful morning. Temperature and wind were ideal for one of my favourite early season hikes. The snow had all but disappeared except approching the pass where it was still packed enough to not require icers. The only others we saw were 2 Slow & Steady at the peak, waiting for a few others from their party to come across to join them from Baldy north. Thanks to everyone for an enjoyable hike in the park. Participants: Arnold, Dean, Jeannette, Lenard, John(C), Marianne.
