Started around 8am from Mitchell canyon. First 2miles are normal with lots of tree shading. after that it’s pretty open until summit and challenging. Reached top in 2hr57mins.
Going down is more challenging.. lots of loose rocks. Tripped multiple items and managed to reached back around 2pm.
Rattle snake and able to see Whipsnake during the hike.
