    You can get a one day pass the day before. Get to sleep early and start your hike at night @ 10 pm. By the time you enter the park it's @ midnight and you can make it to the top as the sun rises.

    The trail up the mountain reminds me so much of climbing the path up the volcano on the original Island Map in Ark : Survival Evolved.

      @TVinmyEye 7 ปีที่แล้ว +4

      Hamburger247 i didnt have much trouble until i was at approximately 12,500 feet. For me anyway from 12.5k ft upwards it did become difficult. And around 13,500 i was having difficulty with the altitude just feeling nauseous and my head was throbbing.

    • @Hamburger247
      @Hamburger247 7 ปีที่แล้ว +3

      Wow sounds intense! I'm definitely planning on doing it. I'm sure you can agree that the experience is def well worth that trade off lol

    • @phutton88
      @phutton88 7 ปีที่แล้ว

      Bob Saget nah. There's no risk involved. Climbing involves grades where there's consequence to losing your footing and taking a plunge.
