Took the Stone Canyon Trail to Mt. Lukens on Tuesday, April 4, 2017 on what turned out to be a sunny, warm morning. Didn't see another person on the entire trail. I'm not going to add anything new that hasn't been written about this peak on Modern Hiker, Summitpost or hundredpeaks but I will reinforce the same things. Wear pants and a long sleeve shirt! Not only is a lot of the trail overgrown and you are risking scratched up arms and legs, there is also a large tick presence. I chose this hike to get a mid-distance (8 miles) with decent elevation gain (3,200ft) as I am doing Mt. Whitney in September; however with the amount of exposure on this hike, I'm glad I didn't wait until summer to do it.
