Hiked/ran/scrambled to the summit of Mt. Olympus. Left the trailhead at 9:00 PM and reached the summit just after 11:00. We had a nice break on top and watched the city lights, although it was much cooler up there with a slight breeze. The hike down was really cool with several interesting bugs and critters on the trail, including a small tarantula. We got back to the trailhead at 1:30 and I was home and in bed by 2:30 AM. It was a great night with over 4,000 feet of elevation gain. |
