Up in the mountains for a quick fall weekend we decide to climb Mt. Flume from the backside approach, via the Wilderness and Osseo trails. The Wilderness trail was uncharacteristically empty of hikers and we were rewarded with an up close encounter with a moose. Indeed we did not encounter another hiker until we were about to leave the summit. The day was beautiful, in the low 70s in the valley and very mild and still at the summit. The fall colors were just beginning to really show themselves. Two days later when we climbed Mt. Sugarloaf the colors were in full bloom.
Distance 11.2 miles; Climb: 3150 ft; Elevation: 4328 ft.
