Mount Defiance — Sunday, Jun. 11, 2023

Arrived Sunday 8am and parking lot was already full. Trail is in good condition and easy to follow all the way to Defiance peak. Only a couple of snow patches left that were easy to get through. Only needed hiking poles. 11 miles, 3,700 elevation and about 6hrs with lunch. There was so many people on the way down so we starting counting and saw 125 in only the last 3 miles of the hike, so probably passed by 300+. Today had a really cool cloud inversion. You had to hike about 1k from the peak in order to get out of the clouds.
