Miles Hiked: 9.40 Miles Elapsed Time: N/A

Comments: Although this hike is officially 8.4 miles roundtrip, two trips, back and forth, to the campsite added another mile. We camped overnight at the primitive campsite; my wife and I were the only ones camping. About 11 pm that night, it started to snow, about 3.5 inches total. The fresh, fallen snow made the walk down even more beautiful. The views are awesome especially this time of year with the fall foliage. I highly recommend this hike.
