Headed out Today for 46ers #'s 6&7. Phelps was first on the list. This was our first high peak since late 2015. Beautiful day to be in the mountains, great views from the top. The trail was not as steep as what I expected. A great one for people starting off the 46ers to try, as it gives you an idea of what to expect trail wise. 40 more to go from this point.
