  • This is a great place to watch the sunrise. Once on the trail we chose the shorter hike to the top (to the right/counter clockwise). Based on discussions with other hikers this is the more strenuous and technical hike especially in the dark. Be sure to take a headlamp or flashlight. In December if you get to the trailhead by 6:40am you’ll have time to get to the top before the sun comes up.
