This was my first "real" hike post ACL surgery. The quotes around real are because obese people (who I am almost one of), children, and parents with children in child carriers were walking the trail. However, in their defense this is a short but legitimate hike 1.8 miles and 1500+ feet gained. not exactly flat, and while the trail is well maintained it is steep in spots. Lots of fun and a good workout and a big confidence booster that I'll be 100% shortly.
Aim and I did about 5 miles total with the spur to the north summit ledges.
Felt good to be out and it was nice and cool on the summit but the black flies were biting a bit.
