I hiked Hadley earlier this fall, definitely a nice hike. Equinox is a good day hike definitely. It’s 2800’ in just over 3 miles so it’s fairly steep but at a slow pace it took just under 2 hours to summit about 15 minutes to hike out to lookout rock and about an hour and a half to hike back down. Prolly spent about 5 hours on the mountain total, perfect for a day hike that you don’t have to wake up ridiculously early to complete. ---

How long does it take to hike Hadley to the tower? I’ve wanted to go up there for a while. ---
