Long but epic. Clocked in at 19.3 miles, + 5,420 ft gain. Epic beautiful trail in the beginning, saw 2 baby deer. Nice meadows and grass/trees in the beginning. First mile or 2 are the hardest – very steep. Then it levels out and becomes easier. Various camps along the way. Water flowing but not much. After High Camp you get to the “burn scar” area – very sad and can still smell the fire. After that it becomes exposed and rocky. Brutal last climb to the peak. Cool views of San J and you can see Baldy in the distance. Overall a great hike!
