Great morning hike!
Started at 6am from Stanford road and all the parking spots at the trailhead were already full (They fill up by 5.30am – Yes, 5.30 am crazy!) so had to park quote far in the neighborhood. It was busy on the trail and getting pretty warm. No shade.
I made it up to the top in an hour (powerwalk!) at 7am. Didn’t spent very much time at the top and then took the backway down. This was nice, as it is a little more shaded.

I tried to say good morning to everyone I passed, but did not always get a response back. No problem – can’t expect everyone to be a „social hiker“ at 6 or 7 am in the morning

I had fun and feel great!
