This is an approximate, I don't remember the first time I did it! I was with my friend Lauren and a whole group of people. We stayed in the cabin over night, finished the hike the 2nd day. The night sky was the most gorgeous I've ever seen. SO many stars! The hotel at the bottom of the mountain had fire works as well. An extremely tough hike but very rewarding. I did it a 2nd time a few years after.
