Perfect way to celebrate the 4th Of July! The first part of the hike is a bit of a scramble.  Steep on loose gravel.  The rest of the trail is pretty smooth.  Very windy in some sections, and I was definitely happy to have a windbreaker.  I enjoyed hiking it from Dawson Saddle instead of Vincent Gap.  No crowds.  Not a ton of switchbacks, and definitely breathtaking.  The flag looked beautiful in the wind, and there was a newer plaque at the peak.  Rested at the top and watched the hang gliders below.
