Cady Ridge — Wednesday, Aug. 3, 2022

Did a loop up Cady Ridge and down Meander Meadow. See that trail for report on that section.
Road is rough, but easily traveled in high clearance, assuming you're used to FS roads. Trail is in good shape, good tread, couple downed trees but very easy to get over. Yes, it is "steep" but honestly not much worse than most in the area. It is dry all the way to either Lake Sally Ann or to the PCT north a bit. Mosquitos were bad in the parking lot, biting flies are out and hungry. Flowers are starting, but not very many on this section. To get to really good views you have to get all the way to the PCT. Reward vs. effort isn't great on this section, in my opinion. But if you continue to Meander Meadow....WOW.
