JJ, Nick, and I were supposed to do this hike together on 3/24/13 but Nick got sick the night before. Eight years later, we were on. We met Nick along I-10 and all took the JJ-mobile to the trailhead. The new and improved JJ drove!
The first couple miles of this hike are pretty easy, then you have to work to get up top. The summit has been cleaned up. The only elephants were in the ammo box. Fun hike/scramble up with great views.
On the return we decided to check out the Quantrell Mine. Pretty cool but not as much to explore as we were hoping for.
Great to hike with Nick again and JJ per usual.
