(January 8, 2019, 5:03 pm)Awesome hike. We were heading for Turtleback peak but we took a wrong turn and ended up going to Ship Peak. It can still take you to Turtleback but roundabout way. We were very happy to have taken the detour because the views are breathtaking. It gets a bit steep at times, but it is so worth it. LOVE IT.
