A great hike with lots of views. Had ice the last couple miles near the top so cold and a little dicey at the end. Did it in just under 5 hours hike time. Other time was pause at Indian Gardens for lunch, pictures, putting on Yaktrax, small rests at 3 mile and 1.5 mile rest houses. So a nice time considering we were still tired from lack of sleep the 2 nights below the rim.
