Great day for an outing at Fishers Peak State Park! Sunny skies, perfect warm not too hot temperature, no threat of storms. I ran where I could and power hiked a bunch. This route is almost all uphill and some of it is pretty steep.

There is no water available on the route, so you need to carry everything you'll need. I carried one liter of water and two gels. I ran out of water with a couple miles to go on the descent. 

The survey marker is at the second rock cairn on the mesa on top. The Strava segment is short of the actual summit. 

Beautiful, challenging route. I will definitely be back in cooler temps this fall.
