This hike is just a butt kicker both ways! The marine layer was great on the start, which at 05:45 was already pretty crowded. But the sun came out too soon and even though it was in the low 70s, it felt hotter than that. This hike is stressful in several spots that are slippery and very steep. Slow and steady is how this one shoukld be hiked!
