GRIZZLY PEAK

On Monday, August 6th Jake and I decided to attempt Grizzly Peak. This particular scramble had been on Jake's list for a while (for both the views possible and the name), so with a paid day off we chose to give it our best shot! Summit: Grizzly Peak Time: 7 hours car to car Distance: 6.0 KM Elevation: 8320 ft Height gain: 2953 ft This hike is listed as "easy" in Kane's book, due to the lack of technical scrambling necessary. However, due to dry conditions, the trails were slippery, even with hiking poles, causing Jake and I to fall and slide down the mountain side multiple times.  This was definitely one of the most mentally challenging hikes for me, although I did thoroughly enjoy it. My toenails are falling off, my feet and hands are blistered, and it hurts to stand, but I'm glad we did it.  Hope you enjoy some photos from our hike; and if you do go, please be warned that the smoke and dry conditions make it a harder hike than it normall
