Duration of hike varies based on hikers’ pace, but normally takes about 3-4 hours with stops and lunch at the top.

Our gear is rated for long distance hikes, and we have the tools necessary to make repairs ensuring the safest and most enjoyable experience possible. We set a good pace up the mountain and are always open to participants want/need to stop and enjoy the scenery!
