Saddle Mountain
We were planning to hike Saddle Mountain on Wednesday but the weather forecast told us it’s today or never. Not to mention the kids were suspiciously pumped so we quickly changed plans and gunned it for the mountain.
Information online and at the trailhead were obviously false because they claimed it’s a 5.3km hike one way, meanwhile we clocked in at over 8km when we finally reached the fire-lookout hut at almost 22:00. We had to scramble across the boulder field and then traverse the super sketchy final ridge up to the hut in complete darkness only with a little headlamp. Basically everything you see in this video we hiked up in total darkness, hence why I had to make a video on our return, it was too dark to record anything the night before.
@laura.j66 & I didn’t sleep a wink because our “camping” pillows were so uncomfortable and we just didn’t have the brain capacity to improvise and suffered all night not sleeping not to mention the wind kept us up as well. The kids said they slept amazingly all night and kept talking about how excited they already are for our next overnight hike.
