Not difficult but goes forever as day trip. You can descend quickly. Felt nausea @ 9100 ft but it passed quickly Got pounding headache at 10,000 feet Had to slow down for lack of oxygen Summited 11,500 ft in thick clouds 40-50 mph winds and 40 degrees on summit Bring gloves next time Apple Fire aftermath amazing to walk through There are creeks and water sources everywhere Portions of lush meadows surprised me
