Our guardians at high point

First two miles hit ya with the elevation about sea level and steep incline.  Beautiful fall foliage, walking sticks were incredibly helpful. Small mats in certain pockets but not too bad. Lots of rocks throughout the trail, as well as stream divots which made it more challenging to come down with the steepness and narrow trail. Dress with layers that can be easily shed. Top was amazing and hats off to our fore fighters and fire volunteers who keep an eye out for wildfires!
