The lift was not the highest summit however and we knew we had to make at least one trip the final 400 feet or so to the true summit. After hiking about 60 vertical feet we knew that it was going to take us some time and more than a few breaks in order to reach the top. After taking 15 minutes to reach the top we sat down to catch our breath and enjoy the amazing view. It was a clear day…

I knew I had to hike down and get water. Once I was up, I got all my stuff ready. As usual I was one of the first people ready. Being a morning person definitely came in handy on this backpacking trip. The leaders told us the plan and we ended up hiking three miles. It was the fastest pace we’ve ever had.
