This was my 5th Six Pack of Peaks mountain. The mountain itself has something for everyone. I really loved the first 1.5 or so. The scrambles, little waterfalls, bridges, the alpines and so much more made me really enjoy that portion of the hike. There seems to be two “false summits”.  We were there on a cloud day that was clearing up as we were going through the hike. The first “summit” we came upon we excited to get to the top as the wind was whipping around and it was cold. The clouds had covered up the second “false” summit and the actual summit, which at the time felt a little defeating. The views on the way to the summit were breathtaking. Once at summit, we could only stay up there a few minutes since the wind was doing its thing. The hike down became really sketchy because there was run off everywhere. I took two decent diggers heading down.
Overall, I thought the mountain was awesome and highly recommend hiking it at least once.
