This hike was a challenge for sure. We made it up slowly but surely. We saw a mountain goat along the way too. We even ran into another all female hiking group and exchanged IG's. I was surprised by how many people were at the summit. But being above the clouds was breathtakingly beautiful and awe-inspiring. Coming down was a little tricky due to how steep some parts were. The visibility got pretty low too. Too much fog/clouds. That last stretch before reaching the Ski lodge was killer on my knees. But we grabbed a beer and rode the lift back down to the parking lot. Longest one so far.
