First warm hike of the season. 3 liters of water each was just enough to get us to the top, glad there was a restaurant at the peak! Absolutely gorgeous views from both the overlook and the watchtower.
Notes for newbies: Don't let the 2 mile distance fool you, this is not an easy hike. It's quite steep, and for a lot of it the trail is just paint blazes pointing out the route over rock falls. We passed one family that clearly expected a fun little outing and were utterly miserable. |
