We went to hike the Green Mountain trail today. It is about 9 1/2 miles off of Highway 33 near Driggs, Idaho. We did it a few years ago and the trail was VERY muddy. We only went to the top of the mountain then. Today, it was very dry and dusty, plus, it was a very warm day. We started hiking early when it was in the 40s (6:30 a.m.) and were back at our car around 12:30 p.m. when it was in the 80s. This is definitely a hike to do early in the day or when the weather is cooler. It has great views and wildflowers but not a lot of shade. The total amount we hiked was about 11 miles. We hiked clear to Green Mountain Lake this time. This was a hike that was on Melinda's list.
