Out to Fairy Falls, where we haven't been for quite a few years. Thought it would be fun to see what it's like after a snow-melty spring.
One thing I've always liked about that trail is that it winds through post '88 re-growth. Over the years you can get a real sense of the speed with which lodgepoles regenerate over 26 years. Here's 6 ft Kevin for scale. Note the trees look healthy, too.
