Lake Eleanor Hike to Grand Park with Jean


Today Jean and I went to the Lake Eleanor trailhead to hike into Grand Park. It was a beautiful day, we got to the trailhead about 9:50 AM, and we got as far as the lowest meadow of the Grand Park complex, about a 7.5 mile round trip hike. Birding was slow, but the wildflowers were fabulous, the mosquitos thick, and the company superb. We heard two woodpeckers, one probably ATTW and one probably Hairy but could not see either. I did manage to add Mountain chickadee to my Pierce year list, and we got home about 3:30 PM to rest up and Jean made us a great fresh roll meal to enjoy with Brett.
