13 mile hike, 13 mile view!

This was our first long hike in a while, so feels good to have accomplished this!

We started at 6 am and we were glad we did- the first two miles has a lot of elevation gain. After that its more gradual but you keep climbing.

We saw two deer! They scattered quickly but that was an unexpected surprise.

Bugs were annoying. If you have a hiking shirt with a hood, wear it so they won’t buzz in your ears.

Killer views at the top – there are even picnic tables to eat on. I just wish we could climb the tower!
