Sorry it took so long to post this; busy week. Though our group was small on Sunday, we had a really great day on the trail. The wind wasn't our friend, but we had plenty of sunshine and perfect temps. The trail was in pretty good shape and the overgrowth was actually less than a month ago. We made a few stops along the way to take in the views (one overlook of the San Gabriel Mts to the west, one of Silverwood and the desert to the north, and Monument Peak) and leisurely took in the scenery along the trail, so a return trip on the trail wasn't in the cards. We still had time for some delicious frozen treats though and it was really great getting out with people to enjoy a beautiful day.
