I started this hike with the VHC at 5 AM. Then we started on the road to the Tunnels to Nowhere. Then after a short while we proceeded straight, bypassing the traditional trail up. A little after that, we reached the first tunnel and went through it. One of my friends said Harry Potter was filmed there. The first tunnel was chok-full of graffiti. Then we continued to a second tunnel. The tunnel was short. Then after that the trail turned small, then overgrown. I saw a small water tank (I guess it's from Harry Potter), then after that the trail was no longer overgrown. After that it started steeply climbing towards a clear area. We climbed through the clear area until the yuccas attacked. Then we climbed to the ridge. On the ridge, there was some overgrown parts with occasional clearings. Then we continue on the ridge. There was a cool rock formation (Turtlehead Rock) and some free-for-all scrambles. There was also snow. We built a small snowman together as a group. Then we hiked onward to the peak! Yay!!! The views were awesome and the summit had 2 signs, a register, and a benchmark. Then after that we started descending. It was pretty boring. I would only tell you the highlights. Rattlesnake Backbone was cool. Steep. and boring
