Report

Started at Canoncito trail head at 0628 and stream crossed my way up the canon for the first few miles. Stayed high on the ridge for the majority of the next 10 miles, scrambling off and on. After wheeler it's a lovely down hill until the next climb up to Gold Hill. The last few climbs were tough on tired legs, with a steep and fast decent at the end back to my car at Yerba Canyon trailhead. Packed enough snacks and water for the entire trip, with a water filter just in case. High winds and extreme sun exposure for the majority of the day.
