Another short mid-day hike on Blue Mountain that was quite enjoyable with a few singing Yellow-rumped and Orange-crowned Warblers. This time I hiked along Trail 6.01, which is multi-use route and shows the effects of ORV traffic. Fortunately, not one noisy, smelly hunk of metal screamed past me, and the scene was largely silent except for a few bird songs. The trail ends atop of Hayes Point where Anise Swallowtails and a few unidentified Alpines fleeted about the arrowleaf balsomroots.
