The hike that got me.... Dirty Harry Peak

I say "the hike that got me" because i never imagined that me of all people would end up in a cast for 3 weeks after SURGERY- walking down the mountain, with 5 miles to go slipped and fractured my fibula.
needless to say this will be a forever memory in my hiking career, sadly i am missing a lot of summer days to climb peaks I want to tackle.
Mountains are not going anywhere though, if not this summer, next.
Pretty bummed out over the whole thing, looking for positives and reasons to smile :)

Also did not go to the balcony or the museum due to the accident, and though the balcony is not anything special and better views at the top, I do want to go see the old cars and other things in the "museum".

Its a good hike, not hard, pretty "normal" walking and up hill the whole way so good for exersize. not my favorite, compared to other peaks - should have started with this last year - not sure i would do it again. I definitely will to go climbing though. it was interesting to see all the climbing paths and the anchors for folks to practice and attach to . That is something I do want to get experience in and come back to do.

I clocked 5.5 miles one way to the peak. both of these below have different numbers - mine was using my satellite and mini garmin tracker.
