Hey Guys, At the moment weather is not looking great for saturday (rain and wind with chance of thunderstorms...) I'll keep an eye on it and make a decision Friday afternoon. Sunday is also looking rainy. I may reschedule this hike for later in the summer, which, sadly, would miss the wildflowers, but is still a route I've never hiked and would like to do.
