This was an amazing trail with beautiful scenic views. I hiked with a new group and meet new people. The hike was strenuous and towards the ascend, I felt nauseous and had to stop several times along the way. I was very grateful when I finally summited and felt better while I rested at the top. The sun was strong and was beating down like a hard fist. The stream of water was very nice and soothing. My group and I stopped for a while to wet our hair, toes and back of our necks. This was very refreshing. I was happy to see some ripe berries along the trails after not seeing too many wildflowers blooming. It was a nice hike overall and I am so glad to have completed my second peak. On to the next one!
