6.76 miles of hiking • 4000' elevation gain •
First time hiking Vesper peak and all I can say is that this was one tough hike with the eg, hot weather and extremely rocky trail tread. Felt way longer then 7 miles. The final 1/2 mile push to the summit is a 1000' eg scramble which really takes it out of your. But once at Vesper's 6138' summit you momentarily forget the pain and soak in the spectacular views. That is, until you head down and have to negotiate the steep, rocky trail again which had me muttering more then once about my choice of leisure activities.
