    Amazing scenery and nice variety of trail types. Navigation is pretty straightforward until the final stretch near the saddle. I think 3L water with a filter refill at vesper creek is ideal.

    Difficult hike, but it was worth every sweat and muscle soreness after the hike. The 360° views from the top were astounding.🥰
