Mt. Emer Hike

Here I am standing on the top of Mt. Elmer (9,676 ft.) this weekend. That's Beirdneau and Logan peak you can see in the background. The hike was a total of 11 miles with around 3600 feet of elevation gain. Took me a little over 5 hours hiking time. I started on the trail at 9 am, got to the peak at 12:15 pm and stayed up there until 1 pm. I was back at the car at 3 pm and my knees aren't thanking me for that. Weather was cool and the fall colors were great near the bottom portion of the trail.
