On the trail by 4:30am with headlamps. Wanted a head start anticipating crowds due to the extended weekend. Didn’t see anyone until sometime after 8am. Saw three bears on the hillside. One eventually came down to our vicinity. Took some pictures that resemble Sasquatch photographs. The berries are ripe and I know it’s crazy but I swear they got sweeter with the elevation gain. It was a great day. Only downside, found and retrieved 3 discarded water bottles.
