"Ishka WAS SO AWESOME! We hiked with her for about an hour to the top of the snowball hiking trail. This hike is not for the weak at heart but is a great boost of energy. It gets pretty rocky towards the end , and you must be ready to for some serious rock clibing but if you're in decent shape, you'll kill it. So many awesome views along the way but if you can handle it, try and make it til the end! that view is unforgettable. Ishka is very knowledgeable about the area and even brought us snacks :)."..."
