| the hike |
The weather is looking mild and this hike will be AWESOME!
We will hike an old road from bottom to summit: the summit is an amazing view of mountain vistas all around. It is a relentless, yet gradual climb. Every step is worth it! This is a pretty hike and good for conditioning. I remember in years past, it has been very windy on top of the mountain, so come prepared for temperature change. If during this hike anyone wants/needs to shorten their adventure, feel free to head back. The road is easy to follow and leaves that as viable option. This hike will be moderately paced so all can enjoy and hopefully share in a view at the top! |
