Very cool hike with great views, though it was smoky so it could've been better. The bugs were very persistent and would find any area I hadn't sprayed.

The hike itself was a good challenge - it starts off pretty steep but becomes more reasonable after a while. It took me about 7 hours total. The heat was pretty rough in the afternoon; in total I think I drank 5-5.5 liters. I only brought 4 so the rest came from a filter and melting some snow at the top.

The stream near the start turned out to be a great place to soak my feet after.

Oh also there was some bear poop near the top, so they're around.
