12.1 miles hiked, A warm day and I ran out of water with 3+ miles to go. The last stream had some nasty looking water and I took some but did not drink any. I brought it along in case I got really, really thirsty. Had hot dogs and ice cream just 0.3 miles off the trail. Took a couple hours off and then hiked the last 2 miles to the shelter. It was a tough day of hiking due to a bunch of short ups and downs along a rocky ridge.
If you look carefully in this photos, middle bottom, you will see a ladder. These short ups and downs were hard and the trail actually had a couple ladders.
