Brothers Trip June 5-6, 2015 from CGB

My two brothers Britton and Cameron, along with our cousin Jonathon, and I went backpacking to Murdock Peak. We left the house at 17:50, walked to the trail head, and hiked 5 miles up Toll Canyon. It was a steady incline for most of it, but got steep at times. It took just under 2 hours. Base camp was in the woods, away from the trail. Jonathon and I had to make a night run, back to the river, to get water for dinner. The stream was farther from camp than we thought, so that added another 2 miles. In the morning, we hiked to the summit with day packs. Snow was still on the mountain in some areas. We took advantage of this and sledded down the steepest part of the mountain. The hike back out took just over an hour. Returned home at 14:00. Success.
