The gate to the top was closed, so we hiked up from the ski center, so what was supposed to be about 100 yard hike, turned into more than a mile. My wife (N3IDN) started the first 4H amateur radio program in the state of Arizona (see links page). This activation was a 4H event to get the kids involved and see what SOTA/Amateur radio is all about. In addition to the 4H kids, some of the parents that were licensed amateurs came along and did their first SOTA activations as well.
