Date of Hike: Saturday, June 20th
Trails: Old Jackson Road, Raymond Path, Huntington Ravine, Alpine Garden, Lion Head, Tuckerman Ravine, Crawford Path, Davis Path, Camel Trail, Boott Spur
Trail Conditions: Old Jackson Road and Raymond Path are in good shape and easy to follow. Huntington Ravine Trail has some running water in the trail after the first aid cache but easy to keep ones feet dry. Trail needs a haircut in spots, especially as it parallels to the right of the Fan on the way up to the bottom of the first scramble. Alpine Garden, Lion Head, Crawford & Davis Path, and the Camel Trail are all in great shape with some really great cairn work. Boott Spur has rough footing and some knee hammering rocks but is well maintained.
Comments: What a beautiful day above treeline. The summit was a zoo because of the Road Race but it was fun to see runners huff and puff their way to the finish! Always grateful to hike up Huntington Ravine, one of my favorite trails to get to. Happy that Whitney finally got to hike it and a joy to see her motor up the scrambles and enjoy the steep fun of the slab, ledges, and chimney. Didn't see many flowers out on the Alpine Garden but the few looked really nice. Checked out the site where the refuge shelter once stood on the Camel Trail and followed the old Crawford Path back from there to the Davis Path, it's very faint but can still be followed 100 years after it was relocated!
