Wow, wait a week and magic happens. Last week, it was a very tiresome slog to break trail to 3,600 feet. Today, it was very evident that many more hikers had followed. The monorail was pristine, and I could make quite fast time to the summit. If this one's on your list, the time to race up to the summit is now!
