I decided to head up to Mount Ord today and get a little exercise.

Wildflowers are still a little light, but it is early in the season yet. I expect that wildflowers will be much better in two weeks.

Normally I don't see anyone else on this hike, but there were a few people hiking up to Ord today

FR 626 is now dry and completely snow-free, although there are a still a few small patches of snow on the upper slopes of Mount Ord.

There were some wildflowers from the TH to a little past Jaws, but none beyond that. Western Wallflower won the wildflower derby today.
