We made it to 10 years
As usual, we started about an hour later than we wanted. On any other normal day, the Dollar Lake burn makes for a dry, dusty, hot ascent. On this day, it was about 87° at the trailhead. Since this is one of the driest years on record, there were numerous wildfires adding smoke to the mix too.
There’s a lot of nice hiking up at the top of Vista Ridge and we’re definitely going back, maybe after some rain knocks down the dust.
