I want to start off by giving a shout out to my awesome team members Jose, Courtney, & Cesar for completing this peak with me! They all did a great job!! 😀
Our journey to Cucamonga Peak started at 7:45am, the weather was perfect…the terrain not so much! Lol (very rocky) but this did not take away how beautiful the trail is! The first mile we were going at a fast pace but soon had to slow down because we were going up! Our way to the Saddle felt long (maybe because it was getting warmer) but once we stopped to rest at the saddle, we took a good 20 min brake to prepare ourselves for the “2 mile grueling” (as one hiker described it) hike to the summit! And he sure was right! It was tough!! We found it funny that several hikers that were coming back down from the summit would tell us “You are almost there, 15 min” and 15 min would pass and we were not even close! LOL Finally when we reached the peak it was all worth it!!! It was beautiful and calm! It was nice to see other hikers who are doing this challenge share the same passion of hiking as you do. After a great rest and tons of pictures later, we headed back down and arrived at the parking lot around 5:00pm. Overall, this day was AWESOME! Best group, best snacks, & best views!!
2 down 4 to go! Let do this!!
