Went with a group to catch the sunrise. Arrived at the trail head around 4 am and hiked up in the dark, caught the sunrise, encountered several (6 or 7) mountain goats and headed back down. Would reccomend hiking early morning because 1. The sunrise is beautiful and 2. The draining sun/heat is not a problem. Amazing hike!! Gorgeous

The photos are gorgeous. The first one looks just like a Maxfield Parrish painting - something about the light and the angle of the goats. Please enter this for the WTA calendar. Thanks for sharing!
