    Def felt like a suffer fest but the summit was rewarding. Not much water source except for down low

    This is a brutal day hike with aggressive gain on a non maintained hikers trail. Incredible views at the summit but one of the toughest day hikes you’ll ever do.

    Great summit but the way up lacks coverage and isn’t super interesting

    Deceptively steep and narrow, but very beautiful. Enough to get the blood pumping. Small waterfall and great view of the lake. Walks right over the dam for an even better view. Wind was a little strong while we were there, but overall very nice. We passed a park ranger going up the trail with a team of 5 mules and a horse. Very cool.
