Wild Wild West Adventure episode 4

Oh my aching ( fill in the blank)....  

This day's adventure is to hike up to and back from Harney Peak. This is the highest point east of the Rockies and west of the French Pyrenees at 7244' elevation. The recommended time to allot for this round trip hike is 4-5 hours. We are proud to report our excursion was is a snappy 5.5 hours.  It was an exhilarating experience and a bit of sweat. We made it!! The current fire outlook post was built by the CCC in 1938 and staffed until 1963. Cannot imagine working at this location.  It boasted an amazing overlook of the black hills. Have a look see of this adventure..l
