Hike above the clouds

We started early so the dark and misty cloud cover made for a great almost half of the hike. We only saw a couple of groups going up but passed a lot of people coming up as we came down. Even though it warmed up when the sun came out, there was a fantastic breeze that made it a gorgeous walk. This is a beast of a hike but the “up and down” on the way out wasn’t as bad as I remembered. Great hike!!
