Enjoyed the 10 minutes we got in, it was very snowy and hard to get through the patches without waist deep falls into the snow, we had two dogs who loved it but they were getting stuck we will probably go back and finish at a later date. I would wait until late june for this one
Little escape to the mountain ⛰️
About an hour hiking trip to the peak! The last 10 minutes up the mountain is probably the worst part.. but overall, it is a moderate to easy trail!
Great hike for my Texas coastal plain lungs to acclimate to the altitude. Went in the morning, at around 8:30 on a weekday, didn’t see anyone else, which was nice. Great views and still some wildflowers out.
Great short hike, well marked trail, end of trail stops just above the tree line
This is a great trail and not tough except if you are having altitude issues. You may want your O2. This is a beautiful trail and takes you up to 11,700 ft. You may see elk, moose, bears, and other wildlife. The view is amazing.
