Hiking time: 241 minutes and 25.12 seconds. This is 4 hours and 1 minute! The hike took over four hours for three reasons: (1) the distance was long; (2) I didn't push myself; (3) I took a lot of photos: 98 of which 47 made the cut.

The skies were completely clear overhead. Clouds were only near the horizon, for example, obscuring Mt. Hood unfortunately. Starting temperature was 47° and ending temperature was 59°. I did not wear a coat.
