Started this one pretty early, 6:50am (just at first light so I didn't need a headlamp). Saw a headlamp way up on the trail from I-10, someone went for a sunrise summit… Really fun climb, pretty sure I was the third person to reach the top today and had the summit to myself. Passed at least 30 people coming up the trail on my way down, mostly before the saddle… parking lots all full down to the picnic area when I left at 9am. 75 minutes up, 60 minutes down. Would love to make a loop with the Sunset Trail next time, but I wanted to bag Wasson Peak today too.
A pair of motorized paragliders suddenly appeared out of nowhere when I was most of the way to the top, no idea how they got there!
