Itinerary description

I was previewing the Hickory Lodge for an event in a few weeks and scouting the best route up for a group. Took a bit of a different route on the Cendana area. Beautiful trails and all well marked for the most part. It rained on me almost the whole time up and down but who cares! Creation is beautiful!
The biggest effort is the first part where you gain 75% of your elevation gain. Rocky and roots but you can do it! About an hour of that then the path is more level and moderate.
Enjoy!
