Cucamonga Peak

Mt. Whitney (14,505’) we’re coming for you! First training session with some of my #HikeBeyondTheHills Mt. Whitney crew! Climbed Cucamonga Peak and it was hot

Our first training session for Mt. Whitney! Cucamonga Peak was hot ????. Got to the peak and went to the left as we read it was

Headed out early so we could grab a good parking spot and enjoy the crisp morning breeze. We took a handful of short breaks along

**Newish hiker training for Mt Whitney in the fall. I did this hike with a 30lb pack for training.** The first two miles were along

Parking lot at the trailhead was busy. Probably full by 6:30 or 7:00. We met at the trailhead at 6:00 and were hiking by 6:30.

Started at 5:30am, reached the peak about 10am. It was a consistent incline. Not as steep as some others but still challenging. Lots of rocks.
