Saw a pair of blue herons nesting by the marsh at mile marker 2 this morning. The mud is drying out beautifully along the south trail.

— M.R., morning loop

Wind held steady from the northwest. Loose gravel near the switchback at 3.1 mi—worth slowing for footing, not pace.

— J.L., ridge traverse

Cottonwood fluff drifting across the bend. Water level low enough to hear pebbles shift under the south bank.

— A.K., evening circuit

Marsh edge with reeds along a walking path
