| partners | | We got started around 0630 and quickly realized none of the five of us knew quite exactly where we were supposed to be going, especially in the dark. The one person who had been here before had gotten a head start and was somewhere ahead of us on the trail. Determined to not have to call for rescue while standing at the trailhead, we figured it out within a few minutes and were soon heading up the Andrews-Kinsey trail. I thought temps felt great, others disagreed.
Great trail to ascend—mostly smooth with a gradual incline. Nice views of the mountains and sunrise. The final climb up to Sunrise Peak is steep & rocky, but goes by quickly. Met up with Denny at the top and spent a few minutes chatting, taking pics, and trying not to get recruited into buying nutrition shakes. Breezy up top.
Having a full day of cooking looming, I opted to skip the over & back portion, and instead headed back down with Denny. The downhill miles flew by quickly and we were finished in no time. Saw a handful of hikers on the way down, all very friendly. Happy Thanksgiving to all! |
