A leg burner to be sure! Our group (three hikers and a dog) took about five hours to hike Mount Rose. It was a warmer day, so we made sure to bring plenty of water. We ran into some small patches of snow near the summit, which our dog was happy to roll in.
All in all, it was a good workout, a short drive from our home (relative to the rest of the Olympics), and we were rewarded with beautiful views of Lake Cushman and the southern Olympics. Definitely earned our Hoodsport ice cream!
