Nutmeg and I parked on the Est edge of Big Glade. There were a lot of campers parked around the edges of the meadow. We took off on foot and headed to the peak about 5 miles away.
The trail was mostly clear of snow, just a few spots where we had to cross dirty piles of melting snow. The bigger problem was mud created from snow melt on the road. The next blog entry shows one of the problem spots.
I had chosen the trail for something flat but as you can see from the profile, it had plenty of up and down.
The walk back went quickly and we drove out through Daniel's Canyon. I was surprised to calculate the trip home from Big Glade at 44 miles.
As you can see from the track photo, Google Earth has lousy shots of Strawberry Ridge, not much detail and a lot of clouds.
