23 m training hike with 5500 ft elevation gain

Took a 23 m training hike with 5500 ft elevation gain. We were lucky that the hike started right after a thunderstorm and stayed in 70s via the tough hills and got into 80s only in the late afternoon. We came across one snake, eight dogs, and many many colorful mushrooms on the trails. I wore my running short to cope with 100f forecast and worked well. I will hike with my running short and shoes this summer. — checked in to Robertson Mountain.
