Sunset 05-17-2013 Climb

After getting out of work early, I hiked the mountain to catch the sunset from the summit. It was nice to hike again with everything becoming green around the trails. It was a mostly clear day with just a few clouds off in the distances. Summit temp was about 50 degrees with a 12 mph average wind. Making it a little cool if not moving around. The sunset was nice and the colors cast on the hills around the area made it great
