The first section of this trail is mostly covered and follows a stream, crossing it a handful of times. Soon it opens to a desert landscape with little shade along the route. The trail is mostly decomposed granite but has a few steep, sandy sections that have been rutted out by runoff. It’s a pleasant hike with a very gradual gain all the way to the top.
Once on summit, I set up for 2M and made a few quick contacts before moving to HF for a bit. Conditions were still a bit off, so after a few on 40M, 30M, and 20M, I packed up and called it a day.
