June hikes tend to be cold and rainy. Although, I wouldn't miss being out in June because it is refreshing to hike when being over-heated is not an issue. June is the best month of all for finding flowers. Seeing the great outdoors when it is as green as it will ever get is a treat. Three pictures below are of a hike we took in June of 2000 on the Brooklyn Bridge Trail. The Brooklyn Bridge Trail is about 8 miles in and out. The trail is named for the Brooklyn Bridge Mine. There is a miner's grave near the mine. Both the small mine and the grave are easily overlooked. They are located at the beginning of the last uphill trek to the top. The bottom picture is a June hike near the Tizers.

ReplyDeleteJune hikes are fun! Some friends of mine were hiking last weekend (I would have been with them, but I was on call :(), and they encountered a full blown thunderstorm. It didn't impede their fun though! In fact the rain increased the fun.
