Amazing views throughout the hike!

Great first hike to start the challenge! Trail is actually a gravel road with a steady incline all the way to the top. Beautiful view the whole time! I was hoping to be able to climb the watch tower on the top of the peak but it was closed. Only encountered bugs at the top. Two hours to the top, with a 15 minute snack break and then 1:45 on the way down. Loved it!
