Volcan Mountain via Five Oaks Trail

Started the hike at about 11am and the first mile or so was difficult only because there was minimal shade and the sun was directly above our heads. The incline was pretty steady and the views from the top were well worth it. On the way back, we took the Oak Ridge trail which is slightly longer but so much more scenic and shaded. It was a great work out. Took us a total of 2.5 hours to complete 5.6 miles.
