1st of 6 for my challange.  This was definitely closer to 11 miles than the 10 it suggested.  Lots of people at the top, so bring a mask!  We went after rain during the week, so beautiful skies, but some mud and puddles along the trail; nothing terrible, but you had to watch your step a few places.  If this is supposed to be one of the easier trails, then I have a bit of training to do before I tackle the harder ones, lol.  There is a very steep incline the last mile to get to the peak, but otherwise a steady incline most of the way.  If you need an adventure pass, the candy store sells them.  Take a look inside and support the locals!  Weather was mild, in the 50s.  I can't imagine doing this trail in the summer, since there isn't a whole lot of shade.  We arrived around 9 and parking was already insane, so I recommend going early.  Overall, great start to my challenge journey, looking forward to number 2!
