We got to the trailhead shortly after 6AM. The parking lot was full and we got 1 of the last parking spots along the mountain Rd close to the parking lot. Thank goodness we didn’t have to add more mileage. We tracked our hike from start to finish and the total mileage logged was 16.3 mi. We did the loop, up Chantry Flats and back down the other trail behind the cafe. It was a beautiful day for this hike. I loved how we are hiking through oak trees and ferns the entire way. Bring lots of water. There is a water fill station at the top next to the Cafe. The last 3 miles to the summit were definitely LONG. It was all switchbacks and full of mosquitos, bring bug repellant, you will be happy you did. The last mile to the summit was definitely the hardest, i was in lunge mode. Definitely worth every step. We ran into other fellow 6 peak challengers and that was awesome. This trail is beautiful, so much natural beauty all around you. I will definitely do it again next year!
