    This is a tough but very rewarding hike. Typical of most long hikes in the area, lots of large rocks to negotiate. Start early as afternoon heat and thunderstorms can taint an otherwise incredible hike. Mid July wildflowers up over our heads in valley on Crested Butte side of pass.

    This was the most beautiful hike I’ve ever done. The peak is strenuous (and windy), but has a very clearly marked trail the entire way. Tons of creeks and even more flowers!
