Highly recommend camping half way at Conundrum Hot Springs.

I'd be interested in the drive on Pearl Pass Road.

As of this week, it's still obstructed at the summit by deep snow.

A lot of fun hitting the wineries/cideries in that area.

Wow, I bet you got a lot of cute rubber ducks doing that.

Deckers has Little Scraggy, may be the best disc golf course in the state. Everyone goes to Beaver Ranch, but Scraggy has better terrain.

How strenuous was it? I will be 62 if and when we do it. I am in fairly good shape, and we plan to exercise more to prepare, like walking steps in stadium.

If you’re not used to it the altitude will get you, but you can deal with that with frequent short stops. You’re conditioning will serve you well and will see you through it if you stay hydrated and just stop frequently, for two or three minutes, when your heart rate gets up.

Just reading this thread is more exercise than the average OTer gets in a month. Never mind actually hiking the route you're talking about
