Mt. Hoffman (10,850) - Sept 1, 2015

I was planning to do Patricia Peak today, but smoke from the Rough Fire had already settled over the Mammoth area in the morning so I opted to go north. I chose Mt. Hoffman since I knew the route and didn't have to spend anytime researching the hike. Today was day #3 in the sierra and my body still was not acclimatized, making the short steep hike more work than what I would have liked. Even though the smoke made its way into YNP, it was good to be out and get some excerise. Trip stats: mi 5.88, total ascent 2015, RT time 4:58.
