Second visit. Steepest climb from previous day repeated at start of day. If we'd all paid attention we'd have known that the hotel was a trek through the brush off the Parkway instead of climbing the 1.5mi hill.
Road elevation approaches cloud ceiling.
We started the day just over 3100'. Total elevation gain for the day was over 6000'
Visibility decreasing despite riding to a lower elevation, but it was still ridable.
