Quad challenge

This was one of the toughest, hike that I have done,  but I loved, it.  The day I did it was nice weather not to cold not to hot.   I could not find my hiking sticks, when I went, during this trail, I regretted it.  My quads were pounding, this was a great work out.  I downloaded the map on All trails, jus in case I would need it.  I did not end up needing it, there was marks along the way.  I ended up hiking around 11 miles total, which isnt much, but it took me a little over 6 hours.  I was going a little slow, it started getting really tough for me when I was getting closer to the summit.  Definintly recommend hiking boots.  Great hike.  One of my new favorites.
