Lou and I were planning on doing this hike last year but got started too late in the day to make it to the top. Kendra decided to do it with us this year because she wanted to get a picture of herself conquering a mountain for her graduation picture. Did she ever conquer that mountain! We were very impressed with her stamina given that she didn’t train for the trip. It was eight miles round trip, just over 5,000′ elevation gain and took almost 6 hours to complete. Having burned almost 2,000 calories on that trip we all felt that a burger and a beer was a fitting dinner.
