Long Sanborn Hike via Vista Point to a beautiful creek

This is quite a strenuous hike of over 13 miles and 3,000 ft elevation gain. Some sections are fairly steep. Hiking poles will be useful for the steep sections. Most of the hike will be shady.

Our destination is a nameless beautiful creek on the John Nicholas Trail. On the way we'll stop at a vista point, where we'll have lunch.
