Type of Hike	Day hike
Trailhead	Grays & Torreys
Encountered	Wildflowers blooming, Ripe berries
Hiking Companions	Hiked with a partner
Road Conditions	Road recommended for high clearance only

I enjoyed the hike overall. My favorite part of the hike was most likely the first two miles and the great views you get on those two miles. The climb is a bit hard but there are no false summits.

I took my time at do the hardest parts and am happy I summited. I’m also really happy for Blue Shirt Guy. He had a hard day but overcame his obstacles. This is the stuff that makes us stronger.
