I wanted to do another hike but my daughter whined about it (is 9 years old the magic ago for kids to start complaining that they don’t like to hike? It’s when both of mine started) so I placated her by suggesting this one. For some reason she thinks that it’s easy, although it’s probably actually harder that the one I first wanted to do. We took the old road up the west ridge, which is the route that I usually do. It’s about 2.3 miles roundtrip with 800’ of elevation gain and at her pace it took us a couple of hours.
The pic is of my daughter, still fairly low on the mountain.
