and of Beacon Rock across the Columbia.
As I climbed the ridge, an occasional swirl of mist would find its way through the moss dripping from the stunted oaks along the ridge.
I had hoped there would be some snow higher up but the recent heavy, but warm, rain obliterated any snow and did quite a job scouring-out the chimney and the trail leading to the point above - it was as if any loose dirt or gravel had been power washed away.
It was clear on top and a light wind pushed clouds and mist up and over the upper part of Munra Ridge,
and around The Fin which you have to by-pass to reach upper Munra.
The wind kept the temperature crisp enough to discourage lingering on top, which I wasn't going to do anyway since there were leftovers waiting at home. On the way down, I could see across to Table Mountain, its upper portions shrouded in clouds and showing some snow.
When I left the TH, mine was the only car. Three hours later, not having run into anyone else on Munra, I found the lot full and cars jockeying for spots along the road. Must have been a busy day at the Falls. 4.8 mi RT, EG 1800'.
