We got there at 8:4ish. It was a nice morning. A bit of overcast and a nice breeze towards the top. I did have a partner with me and four kids! They were all troopers. This was all our first time at this mountain and the kids first time climbing a mountain to its summit. Overall I’d say the kids found it very challenging. I had to carry my four year old daughter a few times up and down the mountain. I will not be bringing them with me on the other mountains for sure. ? For me I thought the hike was great. I was surprised by all the shaded areas along the trail. They had three amazing viewing areas near the summit. Also the trail is so close to Julian. We ate lunch in town right after and the apple pie was the kids reward for doing such a great job on their first mountain hike. 🙂
