Trails: Livermore Road, Mt. Tripyramid Trail (up via N. slide, down via S. slide)
Parking: Plenty of parking at Livermore, 5 cars when we arrived, many more when we left, but other than dog-walkers, runners, and bikers, we only saw one other hiker all day.
Trail Conditions: The trails were in good shape and easy to follow. A few muddy patches, but most were avoidable. It was a perfect day to tackle the N. slide, it was cool and breezy, and the slide was dry. The S. slide was dry as well, descending wasn't too bad, but the scree was annoying. There was one sizable blowdown, on the the north half of the Mt. Tripyramid Trail (I think, not 100% sure about location). Water bars on south half of Mt. Tripyramid Trail looked freshly brushed.
Comments: The weather was great, and there were some nice splashes of color here and there. Fall is on the way. Climbing the N. Slide was a lot of fun.
