It was sunny and beautiful - [link slug="molino-basin-trail"/] up to Shreve Saddle, [link slug="sycamore-reservoir-trail"/] down to Sycamore Saddle, Bear Canyon Trail down - the surprise for the day was the amazing display of flowers on the Bear Canyon Trail.

There flowers at the top of the switchbacks are incredible! Below I can see that it is a busy day at Seven Falls - see 25+ people enjoying the water - I am glad that so many people are outside experiencing the mountain, but also happy that the mountain is big enough that I can be alone with the flowers.
