Turtlehead Peak ...

We wanted to take a challenge today, so we decided to try turtlehead peak. It's five miles round trip and marked strenuous. Not sure if it was such a good idea, cause that was a hard trail. If you can even call parts a trail. I'm not sure if we even followed the right path. It's a 2,075 feet elevation gain. With very rough, loose rock, steep falls, and many confusing side paths, with no distinct signage or main trail to follow. Towards the end you literally have to climb and calculate your next move. I don't think we made it all the way, but we did make it to one top. Maybe we will try it again, after a little research on the trail.
