My last 2 hikes were solo so it was nice to have 3 others with me on this one! Definitely needed the support when it came to the climbing portions of the trail. Being my first real climbing experience, I didn’t want to do it alone. It was one of the most challenging things I’ve done to date, and I’m so glad we decided to do the horseshoe route so we could see both trails. I found out I LOVE rock climbing and will be looking for more hikes with climbs involved in the future! We summited in 3 hours and 45 mins. After some photos and a quick bite, we took the Strawberry Peak Trail down to Red Box where we had a second car parked to bring us back to the Colby Trailhead. I absolutely LOVED this hike and can’t wait to go back and see if I can improve our summit time on a second go around.
