Trailhead We started at 7am, before the parking lot filled up.

The first two miles were steep switchbacks through the trees. After that the trail opened up and you could see the whole valley.

Summit view The view from the top. Totally worth it.

On the way down we took a detour to the lake.

Lake Way too cold to swim.

Stats: 9.4 miles, about 2,800 ft of climbing, 5½ hours.
