Last day, easy hike out all on trail.  We didn't see a single person on the trail and were wondering why.  Come to find out later, all of the California National Forests had been shut down effective the next day due to fire danger.

Journal Entry:  Another warm night.  Started hiking at 7:30.  Great views of the crest, then long downhill to the trailhead.  Got to the car a little before 11:00  Great trip!
