Hiked this for my birthday and probably the last weekend before the snow started to fall. The wind was absolutely insane and bitter cold. I wasn’t sure I would make it! The cold killed my phone battery, so unfortunately no photos after the false summit. With how strong the wind gusts were and how numb my hands were, I don’t know that I would have taken many anyway. I honestly hated the last push to the summit. It took a lot to finish, but I made it and don’t think I’ve even been so happy to finish a hike. I think I’ll enjoy it better if I do it again with a little warmer weather. The fall leaves were just past their peak, but still beautiful.
