Climbing Mount Pierce (4,312 feet), the easiest 4,000-footer, is a deja vu for myself and many other hikers who have done it repeatedly. This Thursday, I went back and did it again on an annual (or more) hike.

The 3.1-mile hike up the Crawford Path and the 0.1-mile walk to the summit of Pierce is a perfect example of how you can climb a mountain many times and each time will be different, with varying weather, ground conditions, the number and kind of people you meet, and more.
