when we got there at 7:00am the temperature was already 72F. The first part of the trail was easy on the side of those hills, no much ascent, also with shade in many places. After 4mi, the trail starts to ascend, but we took a wrong route about 1.5mi, after we got back on trail we started the climbing. That part was hard, we have to take many short breaks and kept drinking. The temperature rose fast too, and that area was vey dry too.

finally we summited at 11:40am. Yes, that was a reward, we we’re so happy!!

Lesson to learn is that by that kind of temperature, that hot and dry weather, packing extra amount of water is a must!

It was a memorable hike!
