After hiking the Switchback Trail to Klahhane Ridge this morning, I continued up to the main parking area at Hurricane Ridge to hike through the meadow and up to Sunrise Point making a 1 mile loop with 190 ft of elevation gain. View from the parking area.
Last week, the meadow had lots of snow, this week the snow was gone from most of the trail. I only saw a few glacier lilies in the meadow, but more flowers on the other portion of the trail. Deer in the meadow.
I started on the Meadow Nature Trail through the middle of the meadow, then went east on the Cirque Nature Trail up to Sunrise Point.
