Summited peak #4 in my Six Pack of Peaks challenge! I’m running out of days to get ‘er done!
Yesterday was Rose Peak (elevation 3,817’) in the Ohlone Regional Wilderness – the toughest peak in the bunch.
18.45 miles
5:54:33 time
19:13 pace
4,222’ of total ascent
44,879 steps
I saw so much wildlife – turkey and quail, deer and coyote and wild boar, snakes and tarantulas! 
Feeling accomplished and sore, might lose a few toenails from this one.
