I think everyone else had the same idea. It was very busy. The weather was also unusually warm for January...it was close to 70 degrees.It was a struggle to climb up with all the people hiking. Also we had to slow down or stop all together several times because 2 women broke their leg coming down the mountain and the park rangers & EMT's were treating them.
Here is a view from on top of Pinnacle. I'm going to try to stand in this same spot every month and take a picture. It'll be neat to watch everything bloom & change.

Reeses was so tired and hiking back down the mountain can be tricky--so we put Reeses in the backpack. We thought he was going to freak out but he actually loved it!
He ended up falling asleep on the way down.
It was an awesome workout. I can't wait to go again next month.
