Ran into some unexpected snow, but things were beautiful. The trail was a little wet, but I did not run into any killer mud.
Did fine on all the tech stuff, but did not clean it.
Got lots of great photos:
Fog north of skull valley
Artsy Granite Mountain shots.
Saw these paw prints and my heart jumped to my throat a bit.
Definitely a Cougar, definitely fresh (it rained last night). They were headed downhill as I was headed uphill, but I obviously never saw the cat that made them. This is the first sign of the lions I know are out there that I have ever seen in seven years in these parts.
Edit: I have been informed that this is definitely a black bear left front paw print. I did a little research, and have to agree. The main difference is the bear has five pads as opposed to four for the lion. I thought the lack of claw marks ruled out a bear and did not bother to count them. Apparently, front paws frequently do not show the claw with black bears.
It was a good ride.
