We finally got around to completing this 7 peak dayhike Saturday. It was great, perfect weather. We caught the 8 am tram up and 5 pm tram down. The route was pretty close as planned (except for my screw-up on the way to Drury), here is the actual GPS Track.

You can download the GPS track and view in Google Earth here:

Great trip Travis. We turned back half way up (4400 FT) because of the cold and strong winds. You must have been well dressed. The wind blew my hat away and we found out that the temperature was 35 degrees at the upper tram sstation at 10.30 am.
I didnt think anyone would make the peak.

It was very windy on the peaks and along some sections along the exposed ridges, but most of the hiking was sheltered from them. But on the peaks the winds were definitely blow your hat off and them some. I have a fleece balaclava that worked well, and fleece gloves. Other than that all I wore was my fleece over T-shirt with my lightweight shell on top at times. When exposed to the winds it was definitely below zero, my water tube froze up quickly. But out of the winds and in the sun it was down right pleasant.
