Vesper Peak — Friday, Sep. 19, 2025

First time doing Vesper Peak and it did not disappoint. Took me 5 hours 15 minutes, and that incline is no joke. Granted I made a detour to the lake, but in the end I tracked 4633 feet of elevation gain. Trail was in good condition, be on the lookout for human stacked rocks which help identify the trail. There are quite a few places where you can easily get off trail. The views at the top are great though -- so enjoy it when you make it up there!
