GREAT HIKE ON A BEAUTIFUL FATHERS DAY. THE FIRST PART OF THE HIKE WAS NICE IN A THICK FOREST. SEVERAL LONG SWITCHBACKS TIL YOU MAKE YOUR WAY TO THE SIDE OF THE MOUNTAIN TILL YOU REACH THE SADDLE. A GOOD PLACE TO TAKE A SHORT BREAK BEFORE THE VERY STRENUOUS ACCENT TO THE SUMMIT. IT GETS ROCKY AND THE TRAIL CAN BE HARD TO FIND IN SPOTS. JUST LOOK FOR THE WHITE TRAIL POST MARKERS ABOVE YOU. THE VIEW AT THE SUMMIT WAS BEUATIFUL. THE SUMMIT SIGN THAT I HAVE SEEN IN PHOTOS MUST HAVE BEEN STOLEN, IT WASNT THERE. THE JOURNEY BACK DOWN SEEM TO BE ALOT HARDER THAN THE ACCENT. MAYBE THE CHANGE IN ALTITUDE......???...... STILL A GREAT HIKE, AND GREAT WORKOUT AND CLEANSING OF THE MIND AND BODY.
