Jeffry and I decided to work off some of the Thanksgiving food with a fast hike up to the summit of Mahogany Mountain from Grove Creek Trailhead via the southwest ridge. We had done this hike before one day when we couldn't find the trail we had planned and it turned out to be the hottest day of the summer. In the contest of men vs. mountain I would say that hike was a draw. Today however the the men won. We hiked the 7.1 miles in a hair under 5 hours and left the mountain whimpering. Bushwhacking up the southwest ridge made for a steep climb but the hike along the rideg from the south point is mellow and we cruised to the summit without stopping on this section. This was a very nice hike.
