Yesterday, Dave and I were in Rossland and it was a cool day. A decision was made to NOT take Andrea and the boys with us on a hike - weather was too unpredictable and those boys are HEAVY! We headed up Plewman Trail, a mere 10 km west of Rossland, and were on the summit of Old Glory before lunch. We had a few spits of rain and then snow for the final stroll to the top. Views are good, but clearcuts abound and yesterday was a poor day for good photos with all the grey cloud. It was wonderfully cool on the entire hike and I think it has to be one of the easiest summits I've ever reached. The old fire tower at the top is still open so you can escape the constant wind. Huckleberries were big and ripe on Plewman Trail; not so plentiful on the descent down Old Glory Trail. The ridge walk is lovely!
