Well, it was SUPER windy. We almost decided to cancel the hike today, but instead agreed to do 1 easy peak, then see how everything was going. The original plan was to do Burro Peak first, then hike back to the Jeep, drive back down the road and do Graduation Peak if the wind wasn't too bad. When we reached Burro Peak, we decided to traverse instead and make a big loop out of it. The traverse wasn't too bad and the way the sun was lighting the mountains up around us was breathtaking. We both enjoyed the day, even though the peaks weren't really anything special.
