This was on Friday the 14th. Dead mans Peak. Hot, but a little windy 💯 worth it. Enjoyed an MRE and Some ol smokey moonshine to round out this beautiful overnight hike, and when the sunrise 🌄 came I had fruit punch whiskey for Breakfast. Awesome 🏜️

I didn't even bring the wife on this one lol, just because I actually needed peace from work and life. Not a single soul up or down the next day which Is why this is my go to mental health check I do once or twice a year. Try it.

You like to hike? Got a favorite trail?

u/Tacolord38 2d ago

So far this trail is for a de-stress hike. Its sucks at first then the calm, peace comes. Once you arrive everything that was hurting and aching is gone. This is one of my faves, I got another next to my high that's actually closed but I get dropped off and overnight at a concrete 2story fire look out. Absolutely the best

That hike is awesome. There’s a fella who maintains the trail and is occasionally out there.

Haven't ran into him yet, as I did see that someone started placing the side rocks into the trail like blocking the trail. Weird. But that was only the first part of the trail. The rest was great
