Death March

Peak Mt Wilson
Group Team Bubba
Trailhead Chantry Flats

Besides the last couple miles before you get to the top, it wasn’t too bad. Don’t get me wrong… once we got to the top, I was either going to spend the rest of my days up there, or have someone from our group ‘put me down.’ I didn’t realize how long it had been since the last time I hiked. Luckily I was with some very experienced hiker/backpackers, and one of them turned my day around with some extra salt at lunch. I heard a lot of people saying that the way down was the worst… being so steep. I thought the way down was much easier.
Other than that, the trail was perfect. The weather was perfect, and there wasn’t any snow on the trail. We saw a thin layer of ice/slush on the asphalt up top, but that was it. This hike definitely let me know what kind of shape I was in.
