Palisades, Little Ranger Peak via Ranger Creek & White River — Sunday, Jun. 28, 2020

Started at the Palisades trailhead around 8:30 AM, only one other car in the lot. Did the entire loop and this was quite an amazing hike. The first half was challenging but even on a foggy/misty day the views were worth it. At the second or third viewpoint the wildflowers were smelling wonderful. Mid hike was my favorite as the trail has you hiking along the mountain top with really awesome views. The second half of the hike down little ranger peak trail was a nice decent with wide switchbacks that lets you take in the forest scenery. I only saw two groups of people (a couple and then a family) once I came down along white river trail towards the end of the trip. Other than that I had the entire trip to myself. Got back to the car around 2:30 PM, whole hike was about 6 hours including 30 mins for eating/taking in views. Planning to come back on a clear day to take advantage of the views! Only (small) downside was about 30 mins of hiking and hearing/seeing the highway while on white river trail.
