We went up Tepee Creek and led Zepplin today. Ended up hanging out at Waypoint 4 for a while and watched the storms brewing over the park. Very peaceful trail and an easy drive.

Many trails have remained closed longer than usual due to lingering snow. We tried the trail today and were met with ice and snow across the trail just beyond Waypoint 4, with more visible further up. Knowing the trail still climbed in elevation, we turned back. This trail should be fully open by the end of next week.

This road is always in good shape for a dirt road. There are logging operations along the Tepee/ Skyline Hiking Trail. The crews were off today, so we could not find out if there would be any closures to the hiking trails while they operated- FYI, if you are one of the many that frequent these trails for hiking opportunities. The green grass and wildflowers are beautiful this year.

There has been a lot of logging activity in the last year. Smoke season started a month earlier than usual, not much in the way of distant views lately. It was still a pretty drive, and walking along the creek at the end of the trail is always nice.

Lush green grass and colorful wildflowers, today was a beautiful day on this trail. It had rained briefly earlier today, which eliminated all the dust, and not enough to make anything muddy.
