Our first hike this year was a favourite from past years. We had great weather for hiking, although the humidity made us all hot and sweaty as we hiked up Jewell Pass in the trees with little breeze.
One of the reasons for doing this hike again (other than that it is a great hike) was to see the trail changes that have been made as a result of last year's flood. Jewell Pass was washed out for part of the way, so they have changed the route. Now we no longer have to worry about missing Jewell Falls, because the path passes right by them now.
The final climb up the Prairie View Trail is a killer. But the incredible view always makes the climb seem worthwhile.
After resting and eating our lunches, we made one more climb up the the lookout. The 15 minute steep climb yields a wonderful 360 degree view.
