Summiting South Sister
 

My first time summiting a true mountain. Meet South Sister, near Bend, OR. South Sister is 10,358' and is a 12 mile round-trip hike with a 5,000 ft. elevation gain. A lot of the route is volcanic scree and most people do the trip in about 8 hours.

Wonderful scenery. The weather was perfect by the looks of it. How long did the hike take, Subterranean?
