Got started about 0550 this morning to surprisingly warm temps. Headed south from the AZT parking area and dropped about 350’ to the start of Italian Spring trail a couple of miles away. Once on Italian Spring Trail, it was a steady uphill for the next 7-8 miles. Nice breeze most of the way. Had lunch at the summit of Mica Mtn, then headed over to Spud Rock. Great views from atop the rocks, although there was some haze from the wind.

Generally easy hike back down, although a mostly rocky trail slowed us down at times. Took the dirt road the last two miles instead of the trail. That 350’ climb back to the finish was a little painful after hiking 20 miles.

Only saw 4 backpackers while we were geaded back downhill. No wildlife. Good to hike with Matt again.
