Updated Trip Report for 8/25/12
My daughter and I went to the ranger station Friday at 1:30 and picked up two unused permits for Saturday. We left the portals at 4:06 and made the summit at 1:00. What a beautiful day; just some light clouds so we did not have to hike up the switchbacks in the hot sun. We left at 1:40 and made it back by 8:05. We were a little beat up from trying two hikes so close together but very happy that we made it.
