Hike to San Luis Peak

Photos of our day long hike to San Luis Peak. I logged 11.4 miles on my GPS. We started out at the trailhead at 6 AM and returned to the cars at 2PM.  I reached the summit at 10 AM. It was very cold and windy and we did not stay on the top very long.

Our last climb to get back to the cars. No rain, just a cool overcast day that was perfect for hiking.
