Did ya'll have a base camp for the weekend or camped along the trail? Reason I ask is in the pics looks like ya'll are packed very light.

Oh no, the crew I was with were not into hiking all that much. We stayed in a 3 bedroom cabin the entire weekend. There was no roughing it with them as it was mostly their first time hiking ever, which is why I thought this place would be perfect as it's not too strenuous. If anyone had enough of the heat, then they could literally hike up about 200 yards from the rim and hit pavement in less than 5 minutes. Then, at any spot on the top of the mountain, you can get to another spot in less than a mile walk. The ladies decided they had had enough after about 3 miles and went to the pool . Im always down for a roughin it type of trip, but this wasn't one of those.

I was the only with a pack so I carried all the food, water and a decent amount of beer. Also had a first aid kit and that was about it.
