Awesome Charleston

Started at 5:30am from South Loop TH in order to tackle both Griffith and Charleston. We have reached the summit of Griffith at 9am. The trail from the TH is pleasant with switchback and medium grade. Nice breeze at the ridgeline and summit. We have then descended back to the saddle and hiked 5 more miles on the ridgeline to Mount Charleston Summit.  We reached the summit at 12pm, it was fairly windy at the summit and nearby. Great views of the area and other peaks. We have descended back to the TH using the same trail and reaching the parking lot around 4pm.
