Also, it’s fun to take the ski tram to the top of the mountain in the JH ski area, the wildflowers are really great this time of year, windy on top but great hiking trails.

My son is almost 11, tall and rangy for his age. He’s just crossed over from Cub Scouts to Boy Scouts and needed a backpack, I found a great Osprey pack at REI for him to grow into. He has his first Scout backpack...
