We started at 6am & headlamps were needed to get to get to the trailhead.  Temperature was cold at 38 degrees, so dress in layers – very warm at the end 85 degrees. The last push to the peak had a lot of rocks to climb over. Also very narrow trail, easy to get off course before the 1st green trail marker. The mesquite was in bloom, so there were lots of bees in close proximity.  Also lots of black fly but they weren't bothersome for this hike. The trip back was hard. Finished this at 5pm. Also be sure to bring at least 3 lt of water.
