I started out at 6:00p.m. from the first pullout on the right past Shady Point. After about a 3 mile climb up the shoulder of 181 I took a hard right and rode the Greentown Plunge.
Upper Creek at the bottom of Greentown Plunge^
Side trip out to Birthday Knob for a few pics
After a short stop at B'day Knob I rode back up to the Bee Hive Trailhead and quickly dropped down to the lower section of Upper Creek.
Still some nice rhodi bloomage on Bee Hive
With a bee ^
