Beautiful Trails and Gorgeous Sunrise at the Highest Peak in contiguous US was an life time experience.
Getting up at 1:54 am to watch the sunrise sounds insane but it was totally worth it.
Tips
1. No mosquitos . Leave your bug net and repellent at home.
2. Even in August, the summit was below freezing especially in the morning. Coldest part of my body were my fingers. I would recommend bringing thick gloves.
3.Plenty water sources till Trail Campground. Don't need to carry heavy load from the beginning.
