    I volunteer Joe to carry everyone's water supply. I'll bring an additional 6 liters
    to slow you down just enough for me to keep up :)

    great hike with good amounts of steepness. Lots of brush which was slightly annoying, but that's my fault for wearing warmups on a warm day. The scramble up and watching ofir slide back 10 feet was fun to watch too.

    Another great hike with this awesome group of people.

    A very nice hike. I especially liked the side trail detour we took on the way back.
  • Joseph Aziz
    A really great workout...I enjoyed both the hike and the hikers...hope to see everyone again on another trail...

    Really great hike. Tons of workout to reach the 3 peaks but nice brushy trails ; also, beautiful views along the ridges, and finally, lovely Canyon to avoid 10 miles of Fire Road on the way down. Long but rewarding hike. Very good dinner with Ray's fascinating stories :-)
