Hustling To Complete Hot Springs Mountain

It was a perfect day to hike this beautiful trail.  I got a late start (2:30 pm) so I had to hustle and complete the hike quickly because at the check-in shack they informed me I had to be out by 6:00 pm at the latest.  I made it with time to spare with leaving at 5:30 pm.  The trail is great with really pushing you the first 1.5 miles by continually ascending.  The views and scenery along the way as well as at the top are amazing.  I believe this would be a great hike to complete with some snow on the ground as well.
