Decided to hike King’s Peak with my friend Danny one day after flying in from NY. We started our hike around 6am and hiked in to Dollar Lake and set up camp. We then headed for the summit via Gunsight Pass and the shortcut trail. We made the summit around 2pm. I was definitely feeling the effects of the relentless sun, the altitude, and the fact that I’m very out of shape right now. We left the summit and headed back to Dollar Lake, arriving shortly after 5pm. We woke up Sunday morning and hiked the final 8 miles back to the trailhead.
