Cougar-ish

We've avoided the summit gong show so far this season but the warming trend had us seeking higher elevations. Despite a crush of vehicles at the Visitor Centre on Saturday we still broke trail from the Hospital Bowl intersection to the top of Balu Pass. We've noticed that a few times. I guess a lot of groups head up to Ursus Trees or Grizzly Shoulder and beyond. It was a beautiful day. I think that's the first time we've seen the sun for a month. Steep solar aspects even had a slight crust by late afternoon. Felt like spring.
