I opted to go off trail and away from the cliff face and followed a stream up to near the peak.Henry Familyhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/03248527873588125478noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-405684858837263693.post-74453772747271447292013-05-17T13:25:35.265-06:002013-05-17T13:25:35.265-06:00I'm not sure of the elevation gain on this hik...I'm not sure of the elevation gain on this hike, but I will say that this is the most strenuous hike that I have taken. The RT length of the trail is around 9 miles from the parking lot. The climb is steady the entire way and alternates from moderate to very strenuous in difficulty. <br /><br />The view at the top is incredible and well worth the effort. Note: Take plenty of water. There are NO creeks or lakes to get water from. Unless you find snow to melt, there are no sources.Henry Familyhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/03248527873588125478noreply@blogger.com
