There are some colors starting to show in the scrub on Mary Lake Rd.
Very nice! The altitude is quite high and takes a chunk out of a lot of people the first few days. Hope you can stay long enough for that to ease up.
I love that particular ride (Village to Reds Meadow and back). But all the time you're descending down there, all you can think is that steep climb back up. The views are amazing, though.
Hope you get to ride through the June Lake Loop. It's got to be amazing right now. Enjoy!
