Congratulations and great pictures! So how long did the entire hike take you? I'm a flatlander from IN, and hoping to hike this peak in August maybe. The Humphrey's trail is about 10 miles then?
Thank you. The entire hike took just under 9 hours but we took lots of breaks for pictures and video. And we got sidetracked a little @ 11,400 ft elevation. The trailhead sign says it's 4.8 miles one way to the summit. We ended up with 11.4 roundtrip. Good luck in August!!
I watched your video. I can't believe how windy it was! I lucked out and hit it on a day where there was no memorable wind. Glad you made it up and off safe.
Cheers.
