We're down!

The sun is behind the mountains, but the trail was not dark yet. We hit the end of the trail at 6:25, taking a total of 5 hrs and 15 minutes (no speed records broken here today!). There will be a lessons learned entry coming soon.

Now, back to the most beautiful campsite at Lafayette Campground with our first 4000+ ft peak in the bag!

Timing again

Coming down as fast as we dare, but we're not speed demons!
We hit the 'split' at 5:45, leaving us with 1.2 mi to go.
We're racing the sun down!

Summit of Mt Jackson!

We reached the summit at 4pm.

Timeline

Just past the split between Webster and Jackson trails at 2:25. That is 1 hr and 15 min into our hike. 1.2 mi down w/ 1.4 to go to the top!

We plan to add 1.2 mi and do Webster too. Will it get dark before we get back to the car? Dark abt 6:30 here?
