Ridgeline Trail above the fog
Today started foggy in the valley but the fog stayed on the valley floor and soon disappeared. A great day to hike Ridgeline Trail.
The Route
Another hike started after breakfast, around 7:30 from Spring Blvd TH. Then to Spencer Top and down to S. Willamette TH; back to Spencer Top and then down to N. Willamette TH; back 1/2 to Spencer Top then back to Spring Blvd.
Left Spring Blvd TH just as the sun topped the ridge
Traffic and Conditions
Trail conditions were perfect – just enough moisture without mud. Human traffic was only material around Spencer Top. A couple too many dogs and some without leash.
The Fog
Early in the morning while still quite cold, dew hung heavy in the sun
