Cloudy day and with few breaks which made you absorb the true beauty of this trail.  Crews were working hard on the trails making them better than ever and truly respect their hard work.   Trail is very well marked and if you can't find a marker….. Just look ahead for all the cables they installed for us to keep us safer for your path.

(I thought I was in good shape till I came upon a group repairing the trails carrying a huge drill and lugging metal poles just to make the trail safer for all in the future).

Trail has some amazing views of the mountain as you wrap around always seeing a different aspect of this beautiful mass of rock.   Helpful hint….. Take it slow and enjoy knowing there are some steep sections.   Watch the timbers when hiking and don't do what I did and hike it in the rain seeing those timbers can be slick!

Overall….. Completed the challenge and will definitely do it again!!
