Started at 4:30 solo and had coyotes singing for the first hour and a half or so until I reached the fire road. Going up to then lookout this was a beautiful hike. First 2 miles are narrow, rocky and steep but in the dark I didn’t realize how narrow and steep. Upper section is through oak trees and beautiful. Coming back down I started to feel the heat and the last mile I realized I had underestimated the heat. Since I was solo I was just starting to get really spooked when I hit the road at the bottom. I carried and drank 5 liters. This hike is beautiful but best down in spring and fall, maybe not summer.
