I started at 5 AM, the first early start in a long time. Then I started hiking up Shoemaker Canyon Trail to get to the use trail to Rattlesnake Peak. Then eventually, I reached the cliff that was the Rattlesnake Peak use trail and then hiked up it. Then I get into the sun and went up a steep trail. Then after about 2K feet of climbing I reached First Peak, the peak before the start of the steep climb. It has amazing views into the valley. Then I climbed up a steep hill and the Rattlesnake Backbone. Then after a while I started seeing views of South Mt Hawkins. Then RAttlesnake appeared ahead. It was a very steep climb up to the top, but I made it. The summit was very worth it though,, it had amazing views, a witness post, 2 signs, a benchmark. Then I descended the steep trail down the side of Rattlesnake and then after a while reached a ridge and then a slide section, perfect for boot-sking. Then after crawling through the bushes, I rwached a steep decline towards a creek bed. Then after spotting a landslide I reached a small spring and a flowing stream. Then I went through both Shoemaker Tunnels and then ended the hike
