Noble Knob — Saturday, Jun. 29, 2013

Mount Rainier Area > Chinook Pass - Hwy 410

Mountain bike up Corral Pass (no snow), and out 1184 Noble Nob. A few patches of snow, but I could ride them all as long as I carried speed (hard-pack). Yellow glacier lillies, gentian, and flox still blooming. LOTS of Elk tracks, and a few goat tracks near Noble Nob itself. No snow on any southern exposure, except in the gullys with trees, but all navigable. Don't let it stop you. I rode down Deep Creek trail, with only one blow down at the top you can get by easily. Trail in great shape. GREAT day. NO ONE OUT. I was solo the entire 3 hour loop, Saturday morning from 10am to 1pm.
