Great 10 mile hike with 2000+ feet of total ascent. This is an up and back with almost all the elevation on the first half of the hike to the peak. The last .25 miles is particularly brutal, with probably close to 750 feet up in that last little bit. Finally got Tim and Randy back together for some hiking, and Donna and Kathy balanced out our team. Great cool temps but very crowded on the trail today. Bonus Candy Store at the TH for after the hike!!
