E had been eyeing this trail for quite awhile not but we were always iffy if he was ready for it and kept coming up with excuses to put it off.

Welp, today was the day! A bit sketchy when multiple signs warn you not to continue… ;-P YOLO?

Upon entry, it certainly FELT like Saigon — the humidity!

Definitely, it’s not for the faint of heart…

It’s probably one of the shortest hikes we’ve been on in SD but likely the most difficult? There’s a rope pull @ the beginning (no pix as we were too busy trying to conquer it!) and then the slippery slopes and rocks.

So many crevices and cracks you can fall through…

And then some good ole’ scrambling which he lives for!

Waiting for us. :)

Our ‘lil “angel”.

The last section to the top was rough… but we made it!

Oomph, stay back!

Oh hi, Alicia Keys’ residence! Caught their kiddos jumping in their infinity pool…

Have to admit, our heart rate shot up a little getting some of these photos, hehe.

So yea, for a short but challenging hike, highly recommend!
