Up and Up and UP Mt. Harkness

The trail is “short”…4.5 miles. The trail goes UP and UP ; the grade takes you from 5300 feet  to about 8300 feet. By the time you are within eyesight of the lookout tower, your lungs are screaming…. DONE! Your legs are crying out…. STOP, GO BACK!  Your brain is saying.. keep going cuz the view at the top is going to be EPIC! And it WAS!  So Epic!
