Interplay of light and wet
It was getting close to 4pm by the time we sauntered back through the sun-dappled forest to the trailhead. Despite our best efforts to waste time, we still managed to complete the hike in under six hours. With even the least bit of effort and with less time spent lounging on the summit, it should be possible to do this hike in about four to five hours.
Note: there's more to this trip report than just the accounting of the hike. Make sure you hit 'Next Page' for the telling of our post-hike activities...
