We decided to try a new trail hoping it would not be too rough on us. The trail was pretty mild most of the way, but the last mile was brutal. It was a continuous steep hike through open grassland. A few of us decided the last qtr of the hike was too intense and returned back, but the rest reached the summit.The views were exceptional, we could see from Mt Diablo to the Livermore valley. Due to a teen hiker joining us and setting pace, we completed the hike at a very fast pace with very few halts. But I can't imagine the rest of us continuing to hike at such a fast pace in the future!

2hrs 13 min
