54-84 degrees. Walked 3 miles of the trail and then back. Incredible number of CA Tortoiseshells today! Extremely dry conditions, found many butterflies puddling on vegetation on the pond today. (And almost got runover by a Mom moose and calf. She was running my way to escape a guy approaching her on a bike. Extremely close encounter.)
