The Big Climb

I, Kallam, have always wanted to hike from the bottom of Mt. Elden to Humphrey's Peak. I decided that it would be this year so I invited some people and hoped that someone would say yes. Two people agreed and so I started to make the plans. I started to look at the trails to see about how far it would be. After adding everything up the grand total would be about 23 miles! We started early in the morning (6:45, not as early as I would have liked) on the Elden Lookout Trail which is 2.9 miles and climbs 2,300 ft. After that was the easy part of the trail before we started to climb again. The views were amazing and it was a very long day but we made it back. It was about 9 pm before we made it to the Snowbowl Parking lot where Kayla was waiting to pick us up. Here are just a few pictures that I took with my phone along the way.
