Wanted to find a trail near my mom’s, and I adventured on some of this one in HS! And then I saw there was a FKT wide open and decided to shoot my shot. 
FKT Report:
Started at 6:40am (the route actually starts at Ina and Alvernon by the parking, not the sign at the trailhead!) and headed up. First mile is runnable, miles 2&3 kicked my butt and were all hiking. Mile 4 is still steep, and the trail is a little more overgrown. The last mile you are really traversing to the peak, and it’s so gorgeous! I was lucky the canyon was in the shade on the way up. It was high enough where there were trees and pinecones! The views from Mt. Kimball look over the backside of the mountains and we’re totally worth it. Had a celebratory cookie and started back down. Was able to cautiously run a lot more on the way down (after a slide on loose rocks, I was a bit more careful!). More sun on the way down, but went by fast! A little ankle roll about 0.5 mi to the end, but feeling okay now! Made the whole journey in just over 5 hours!
