We embarked on a three-hour tour that turned into an epic adventure...
Marv and I set out to conquer Condor Peak in the San Gabriels, fully aware that the entire 15.9-mile journey might be a stretch. Nevertheless, we pushed ourselves and covered approximately 60% of the trail, clocking in nearly 11 miles with a challenging 3200 feet of elevation gain and loss.
What was initially planned as a three-hour tour transformed into a 6-hour odyssey—testing our endurance and determination. This hike marked the longest we've undertaken in years, and it's just the beginning of many more to come.
As the sun dipped below the horizon, a close call reminded me of the importance of preparation—I nearly ran out of water! Cheers to the unforeseen challenges that make every adventure memorable.
