Leader's notes

This is one of my favorite summer hikes for views and flowers. It is strenous. My pace is 2 mph and I stop for photos.

Note: I give myself a "moderate" leader rating: as I hike at a 2 mph pace and provide rest breaks. I cannot turn a "strenuous" hike (and it is strenuous) into a "moderate" one. It is my pace that is moderate not the trail. Some have been confused by this in the past.
