Cold clear morning
The path ahead
MOVIE: The hardest part is over???
First 1/2 mile complete
MOVIE: 8 miles and 1 mile into climb
MOVIE: Morning is arriving
MOVIE: Sun fully up, temp rises
By this tree, the only flat spot for miles
In the middle of nowhere , a ranch house
MOVIE: Isolated Ranch
The next flat spot with a tree. I had hid water at every mile in the 5 mile climb to the Ranger Fire Station
One mile to go before lunch break
MOVIE: last series of hills before Ranger Station
One stop along the way
View of the valley
MOVIE: What matters
Finally, the Ranger Station, 1/2 of climb, and lunch
Charging my Apple Watch
Lunch and getting rid of empty water bottles
Another 1.5 miles to what looks like the top, but it is not
It feels like the top, you now start to go down
But after going down 800 feet, it then climbs another 1,600 feet to the true top
Not the real top, but a nice place to rest
On the way to the real top
The gate 3/4 mile from the top
MOVIE: only 3/4 miles to go
Finally the top, and all my hidden water was still there
MOVIE: why ugly can be pretty
Large video warning
LMOVIE: First section down from the top
SMOVIE: Letting the brakes cool
LMOVIE: Down to the Saddle
3 roads intersect at the Saddle
LMOVIE: down to water
LMOVIE slow approach to where I crashed last year
SMOVIE: 3 mile gravel section
LMOVIE: Last of the down hill section
Elevation profile
