I did this route last year, but had forgotten how tough that first two miles is. There are sections of grade over 50%! Hiked, as usual, with my three dogs. Hot and sunny the whole way up, and we were low on water when we got to the turning point for Teuque Peak, so since I have three dogs to keep cool and hydrated, I decided to not attempt it. Little did I know that one mile later the sky would fill with clouds and thunder, soon followed by rain and eventually HAIL.... bummer! Next time.
