The
scenery
is
beautiful,
from
both
the
saddle
and
the
summit.
But
the
hike
up
was
brutal.
As
of
Aug
31st
2019
there
was
still
snow
along
the
hike,
there
were
4
places
you
crossed
over
snow.
We
started
at
6am,
the
mosquitoes
started
to
come
out
soon
after
sunrise
and
they
were
a
frustration,
but
as
the
heat
increased
they
went
away.
It
was
surprisingly
very
busy
along
the
trail,
and
this
made
the
hiking
time
more
than
normal,
there
were
runners,
hikers
(both
experienced
and
not),
large
groups,
small
groups
individuals
and
couples.
Generally
all
were
polite,
except
for
the
runners,
for
the
most
part
they
were
rude
and
expected
you
to
part
the
way
like
Moses
parted
the
red
sea,
what
just
because
you're
a
runner?
And
where
the
heck
do
you
want
me
to
go.
There
is
a
cliff
on
one
side
and
a
rock
wall
on
the
other,
so
you
mr
runner
and
mrs,
slow
down
when
passing
people
and
have
etiquette!!
Also
there
were
a
number
of
dogs
on
the
trail,
90+%
were
off
leash
which
sometimes
was
a
pain
as
well
as
the
dogs
just
squeezed
through
and
sometimes
knocked
into
you.
There
was
wildlife
along
the
way,
from
the
annoying
mosquitoes
to
other
insects,
chipmunks
and
we
also
saw
a
large
white
mountain
goat
which
came
close,
before
a
dog
started
to
chase
the
goat
down
the
side.
All
in
all
a
long
sore
but
fulfilling
hike.
Glad
I
went
all
the
way
to
the
top
this
time.
