We started the hike at 6am from our cabin and walked up Quartzville rd till we could find a break in the private land to head towards the mountain. It was getting hot all ready around 7am and concerns about water and the dogs making the summit started. at the post to start the trail to Lincoln we split up and eddy's mom, Danielle, her pup gunny and me with S&J decided we were gonna try for the summit while the rest headed back to the cabin. we had a plan of one of them driving back up the road to pick us up when we got back to the true trail head/off road trail. It ended up being a great girls hike, Eddys mom and I can be trouble and if it were not for Danielle and the pups we would have headed for a 2nd 14er summit, instead we called it good and headed back down the main trail.
here are the pictures
heading up the dirt road, it was a boring first mile or so.
