The downside to seeing the sunrise on a mountain top is driving there when the night is the darkest. It is worth the drive.<\/p>\n<\/div><\/div>\n\n\n\n

Once we got to the top of the mountain, we found a place to sit while the sun came up. We watched as the sky slowly changed colors and became brighter.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Finally, the sun peeked up on the edge of the horizon. Then it slowly climbed up until it was fully visible.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Once the sun was up, it got brighter. Then we could see all the people who were with us that morning to enjoy the sunrise.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

On our drive to the Beehive, we got to see yet a different color from the sun as it rose. We were driving today because the buses do not start early enough to see the sunrise.<\/p>\n<\/div>

There are two paths to the top of the Beehive. The shorter trail goes straight up the face of the Beehive. It is a shorter distance, but a much more strenuous climb. We opted for the longer route. It was quite rocky. It also included many places where we had shorter vertical climbs.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

We did make it to the top. The view was amazing.<\/p>\n\n\n\n
