Andy and I had a really pleasant hike from Pine Valley up to Burger Peak. Thought about heading over to Signal, but we needed to be back in town and didn't want to push it. Creek was flowing most of the way along the trail and minimal snow patches near the top.
About a half mile from the trailhead a mountain lion crossed the trail about 200 feet in front of us. First time I've seen one in over ten years of hiking the western US. We were very thankful to only be a half mile from the end of the hike.
