Tod Mountain
We hiked over the top of Tod Mountain today. For most of the day it snowed, rained or sleeted, but the views were still excellent. All of the wet meadows had mountain avens, mouse-eared chickweed, and emerging plantain lilies. The drier meadows had larkspur, forget-me-nots, and the first indian paintbrush. The two best routes are the Tod Lake route and the West Bowl loop. To take in the peak of Tod Mountain too, this is 14 km loop, but well worth a day of hiking.
