Cool and windy day on Mount Cardigan. Hiked up via West Ridge Trail to Skyland Trail to Rim Rock. Then over to South Peak and Mount Cardigan. Continued on over to Firescrew Mountain. Had lunch on Firescrew where there were no people. Mount Cardigan summit was fairly crowded. From there hiked back out via West Ridge Trail back to the parking lot. No bugs for a cool spring day.
