Despite the forecast of a full rainy day, I managed to get my usual hiking buddy to head up the mountain for the sake of murdering my own legs. I must say that I am a lot slower at this hike then I would be last year, but slowly and steadily I plan on improving.
With it being a weekday and the chilly rain settling in over the mountain, there was no one on the trail. We edged up the mountain without any encounters and sat on the view point for a brief period of time. It was absurdly cold with the wind causing the rain to come in horizontally. Once chills started biting at our fingers, we retreated back down the trail. I forgot how wide this trail was honestly.
