At 5 miles you will reach Trailside Meadows, a wonderful place to stop and take a breather and refill your water bottles remembering to use your homemade water filters of course. From here the hiking becomes more difficult until finally reaching Trail Camp where it is suggested you have some breakfast prior to starting the switchbacks. Depending on what time you left, if you are lucky you will be arriving at Trail Camp just as the sun is coming up and bathing the entire mountain in the warm orange and pink colors of the Alpine Glow. This is truly a sight to behold and is a must for photographers.
