    Silver Creek Backpack Campsite Loop via Summer Trail
    This was a good day hike. Some ups and downs but nothing extreme. This hike does not feature any overlook type views but definitely gets you away from the crowds to some more remote areas of the park. Bonus that the trails were freshly mowed and bugs were at a minimum. A few muddy patches but it stormed the night before.

    Part of the SHT. Had to get off the trail due to bees. Fortunately close enough to town that we could call an Uber.

    SHT section 3 SOBO
    Nothing really special about this section. Recommend going NOBO next time.
