The hike was 10.22 miles, 2603 feet of elevation gain, and duration of 4 hours and 30 minutes including a summit lunch. Bare booted the road walk and some of the trail, spikes were needed for sections of the trail and water crossings. Trail had a few easy water crossings. Snowshoes and crampons were not needed. |
