Spread Creek Saturday

Dave, Gail, and I went for a short hike on the Spread Creek ridge. There aren't many snow-free hiking options yet in the valley, but the south side of the ridge and the ridgeline itself was clear. The snow on the north side was 1-2 feet deep, mostly supportable crust except for the occasional postholing.

Alas, we didn't see any wolves or bears but did see several moose, a few scattered bison, and a large band of elk. The views from the ridge heading back to the road are hard to beat!
