TR -- Mount Olympus
We hiked Mount Olympus this morning. Myself, rockgremlin, kyrell, and rock_ski_cowboy. We all met at the trail head at 7:00am and hit the trail. I was impressed that everyone was one time. I was actually the last to get my boots on. We planned for an 8 hour hike, which is what we had heard. It ended up taking us 5 1/2 hours to complete. The trail was fairly crowded but could accommodate many hikers. The temps were perfect for hiking straight up. Which is what this was! It was actually a little cool in the trees. You MUST get an early start on this trail in the summer. I saw a few people heading up at 12:00 noon and I thought they were nuts.
There is some scrambling involved to reach the summit and you end up using your hands to climb quite a bit. The views on top are great! We stopped and ate some lunch, took some pictures, etc. We did not stop on the way down and kept a good pace, jogging at times. It was bloody hot in places on the way down. I don't know if I could have made it to the top in the heat of the day? Ok enough already time for the pictures.........
