Let's hike El Cajon Mountain, it's an 11¼ mile hike with 4,000 feet of elevation gain, and up hill BOTH ways!!!
Sunrise is at 6:10am...
The official Warrior Hike Challenge starts at 7:00am...
But, the high temperature around 1pm will be 84F and the forecast is sunny, so it will feel a lot warmer than it sounds. Plus, last time I hiked El Cajon, it took me 6½ hours.
So, if we start at 6am, we should be done in time to just avoid the worst heat.
Who is crazy enough to wake up early and join us? Even if you can't make it the whole way, on the way back there will be the aid/celebration stations at the 1 mile and 3 mile turn around locations. Plus there is the "secret" kaolin mine shafts located at 4¼ miles, with the "Jeep" located at 4⅞ miles...
