Gorgeous! How's the hike out to that spot? I really want to go there, but I'm kinda clumsy with an injured ankle so I'm wondering if I'd be able to do it.
It’s long, and high elevation. You can check AllTrails for specifics. National Weather Service for weather at the top (for wind, temp, etc).
If you’re already at altitude, I’d say pace yourself and don’t go in alone. Bring water and proper gear / hat. I see many with hiking polls (often use them myself since I injured myself on a descent once).
Main thing I think is be ready to call it a day the moment it gets too hard. It will be difficult to extract you the further out you are.
Thanks so much! I live in the area, so the elevation shouldn't be too much of an issue...will definitely bring poles!
