9 miles of hiking • 2000' elevation gain •
Took a (really quick) jaunt up road 777 from the Tooth Rock trailhead. Fighting sunset, I hiked about 4.5 miles in before turning around and jogging all the way back down to the road until the trail wouldn't let me anymore.
On the way up, I ran into a young buck who wouldn't let me pass. He wanted to go down the road and I wanted up, so I eventually climbed atop this rock next to me and obscured myself visually from him and he sprinted past me. It was a bit spooky.
