The trail is super green so there are lots of bushes and flowers that are leaning into the trail. They are easy to go through but recommend pants and a long sleeved shirt as I came home with lots of scratches.

We started at 8 which meant we had a nice, cool hike for the first 4 miles and then hit the sun right in time for the climb up to the peak. Start earlier if you can.

It was sunny with 8 million bugs which were not afraid to bite and bite hard! Deet seemed to be attractive to them but Repel worked on my legs (thanks to a stranger for letting me borrow some!). Hats with bug netting is highly recommended!!

Sandwiches, cold drinks and candy at the. Andy shop was a nice treat after the hike!!!!
