East Ridge Trail hike

For her birthday, Mom and I hiked up to the top of Marys Peak via the Eastridge trail, which starts at Connor‘s camp. It was nice and cool in the old growth forest heading up the hill but surprisingly warm with very little wind up on top. The sun was shining, but they were clouds in places and also a lot of smoke blowing up from the immigrant fire, which is down southwest of diamond Peak. Therefore the visibility was not very good today. The upper part of the trail was fairly rocky and steep in some sections so we had to be careful coming down. Once we got down to the main trail, it was in good condition.
