It was a warm day today (88 degrees by the end of our hike) but the trail offered enough shade that we were comfortable.   We also started at 7:30am which helped.  Overall, we felt that it was a much easier hike than Mission Peak as there was variety, shade and mostly moderate climbs.  It was beautiful at the top!  Unfortunately there was some lingering fog on the coast and haze in the valley so it wasn't a perfect view, but still spectacular!
