Only one strenuous ascent up Rocky Mt., ht. We're at Cheese Factory Gap. Camped with us are Tim, Spider and Lindy. Met them briefly at Low Gap and on and off all day. We heard rain for tomorrow, but who knows.
Mountains here are very steep, but the trail stays mostly to the ridges.
Saw a few lonely violets along the trail. The wild flowers are not out yet. Went through an area 2 miles west of here that showed signs of a fire recently. Also, met Abby on the trail. She was maybe 20 with an overloaded pack and having lots of trouble.
