Started our hike about 6am nice an cool weather in the morning before it got hot , it was super rocky  on the start!  but the water views  made it nice as we made our way up!  It was a really tough hike toward the top !  Lots of switch backs ! But we made it ! the views were amazing !  Heading back down was much quicker it took us about 5 hrs up an about 2 in a half down! So round trip about 7 1/2 total it kick our but for sure,  but so worth it! make sure to bring extra water if your hiking when it’s hot ! We did see a cub bear on our way back down! That was cool!  An I’ll definitely be wearing  some better hiking shoes my feet were sore from the rocks ,but all in all a wonderful  hike !
