I guess you can’t have rainbows without some rain!  Weather forecast had only a slight, brief chance of rain, but things changed. Very beginning of this hike is steep, but then becomes manageable with good switchbacks. Weather was good and we saw some pretty rainbows. But about half way up a few sprinkles started and eventually became full-on rain. No more views!  Last mile or so becomes steep again and when we reached the peak it was quite windy and rainy. Quickly took our picture and headed back down to huddle under a tree, eat a snack and switch to some drier clothes. The rain backed off on the way down, with a few showers off and on. Those steep sections on the way up are hard on the knees on the way down, but we did get a few more rainbows! Total mileage was about 11.5.
