We had a great time! This is a great way to get out of the busy city and enjoy the beautiful landscape. We drove about ~45 minutes up into the Sierra Nevada mountains, and then hiked through the afternoon. We left Granada at 9 am and got back around 4. The hike was moderately strenuous with some steep climbs at ~9000 feet. Poles, hats, and gloves were provided. The views were great, and we spotted mountain goats and vultures. We saw no other hikers the whole time, so it was very peaceful.
