This is a pretty long hike for 4 SOTA points, but since the Lowel Life crew rebuilt the Condor Peak Trail, Esther and I wanted to check it out. Most of the trail felt pretty flat (it’s not), with multiple switchbacks and a waterfall. The last mile or so was a bit more difficult but that might have just been me being fatigued. Getting to the actual summit required some scrambling, but nothing too bad. At the top I worked 40M and 30M, then hopped on 2M to work local chasers. Worried about running out of daylight, we headed back down after about an hour. I hoped to activate Fox Benchmark on this same trip, but there just wasn’t enough time. By the time we got back to the car it was dark. Perfect timing.
