We started at the [link slug="lower-green-mountain-trailhead"/] in Bear Canyon - dirty snow was piled near the start of the [link slug="bug-spring-trail"/] and there was occasional snow on/near the trail for the first few miles - but it disappeared too quickly, as we ran thru the [link slug="gordon-hirabayashi-recreation-site"/] and on to the [link slug="soldier-trail"/] the temperature seemed oppressively hot for February - we were grateful for the wind and occasional shade as we made our way down to the [link slug="soldier-trail-trailhead"/].

[link slug="lower-green-mountain-trailhead"/] to [link slug="soldier-trail-trailhead"/] ([link slug="bug-spring-trail"/], [link slug="molino-basin-trail"/] and [link slug="soldier-trail"/]) - 8.1 miles, + 740'/-3,200' of elevation gain/loss.
