Sorry guys, I couldn't resist the title, lol. In all seriousness, it was a beautiful day for this hike and absolutely gorgeous at the top. This is the first time I've done this trail with no snow! Trail conditions were good but the last bit of the climb to the summit was pretty rough on the pup and I, but we maaaaade it! I feel like everyone always has to mention the switchbacks. Yeah, there are a lot of them, but today they were shaded and, honestly… imo the easier part of the hike. Maybe just cuz they hit you with them right away, haha. Anyway, wonderful weather and views. Mosquitos were out… just don't stand in one spot for too long!
