    Feather Creek Trail Loop
    Very pretty hike. Only a little bit of climbing, makes for a fairly easy trek. My dog and I did the shorter loop, both my watch and GAIA app tracked me at just at 5 miles though, not 4.6. We did the hike June 9th, no snow. Tons of fungi around of all types. Didn’t see true morels but lots of gyromitra esculenta (brains).
