Description

This is a long, strenuous hike that is beautiful the entire time. It takes anywhere from 1.5 to 2.5 hours to reach the summit. Half of the trails are wonderfully marked out and are pretty solid ground - the other half will leave you breathless and scrambling to continue. It does feel magical to be above the birds though.

Hike was definitely a challenge but the view was worth it. It flattens out at several places to give you a break during the climb. 7.4mi
