15 miles of hiking • 6000' elevation gain •
Kinda not-so-creative hike, but I was already meeting friends mid-morning, so decided to have a pre-dawg Dog warm-up. Just took the typical scenic trail up and down x 2, plus escorted the last few of the group up to the top after I was already on my second run down. Flowers are still out all over the place! Poison oak everywhere. Beautiful, sunny day.
1st run: 1hr 7min up, 55min down; 2nd run: 1hr 12min up, 35min down (second time I had met up with my group and some very necessary photo-ops slowed me a bit); plus 10-15mins for the peak escort service.
Followed by rafting the White Salmon River. A spectacular day, needless to say.
