Spent last week laying around the house with the flu, but I was committed to driving and hiking Quartz Peak with a group of like minded hikers today. Fortunately, they didn't need any of my help making the peak. I couldn't believe I made all the way to the end of the trail/start of the scramble. Plenty of other hikers and groups on the trail today, the parking lot was at capacity! One unfortunate hiker left their lights on and returned to a dead battery. Lucky for them I was able to give them a jump and send them on their way. The dirt road in is in excellent condition, but you still need something that wont leave you stuck in the sand.
