1.16 mile out & back- 367ft elev gain - moderate
Beautifully gorgeous day. Short - but steep - hike. Awesome! Classified as moderate. Only .8 miles with 321ft elevation gain. Fantastic quick hike in the area.
This one as a mashup - a hike/climb combo. The ascent is leg burning heart pumper. Steep enough to make you work for it. The “climb” - which was so well hidden it had to be pointed out to us by a local - is super short upward scurry through a rock crevice to reach the summit. Initially, I didn’t want to risk breaking bones - I’m kind of a klutz. But our friend Mike went for it. So I figured, “why not?” Lee followed. Despite the twists in our stomachs, we scaled the rock face like little kids. No one fell. No one broke bones. And the views were totally worth it. Thanks for the nudge, Mike.
happy hikng!
