Temp started at 44, ended at 55. Partly cloudy, then mostly sunny with intermittent winds at about 10 mph.
Easy hike along familiar, dry trails. Large numbers of people were camping as well as being on the trails. Consequently, no animals and only a few birds were spotted while hiking.
Good that people are using the park but too many of them are leaving trash; by the end of my hike, I had picked up a fairly large bag of items found on or near, the trails. If you bring it in, pack it out!
