Easy to moderate if you’re okay with terrain where you have to climb.

We started around 6:40am and finished around 11:30am. Pretty windy and cold at the top but overall the weather was beautiful. This was my first 14er and is extremely beginner friendly. Path is really well marked. Spotted an entire family of mountain goats!

MP and Mel Dennis. Did more walking than skiing, but bowl had snow (dirty, suncupped, soft, rocks poking through). Typical July skiing. Had to take skis on and off several times. Boot pack melted out, went up road. Lots of people behind us, we were first up. The snow was tired.

Beautiful! I did this on snowshoes pulling a sled of supplies (approximately 50 lbs). The first mile is a breeze. Then you climb a beast of a hill (I’d estimate about 500-600 feet) for about .5 of a mile. Then approximately 1 mile with manageable varied elevation gain of about 100 or so feet as you traverse Taylor Hill through the trees. You’re rewarded with a fun .25 mile drop down a snow field to the cabin. (Note: The cabin can be reserved via the 10th Mountain Hut Division.)

First time hiked this trail and it was beautiful the entire time. Came the week of thanksgiving and it snowed just enough to appreciate all the evergreen trees and snow covered mountains.

Easy, but steep. So many people. Parking was full by the time I arrived at 7:15am

Beautiful hike. But many mosquitos. Well worth it for the waterfalls and views. We made it up to the first lake, very picturesque. Definitely recommend.

08/07/2020 Friday; at trailhead by 0730, limited parking by then. We are average hikers, took 3.5 hours up, 3 hours down with a total of 1 hour in stops. Last mile of the ascent relatively crowded but do-able. RT distance 7.1 miles from the overflow lot. It's a classic Colorado 14'er.

The hike is easy but super crowded. We started around 7.30 AM on Friday and had very few people on the way up. It was super crowded on the way down.
The hike itself is very nice and pretty easy. Keep pushing all the way to the end of the trail. Avoid hiking to the very last lake since there is no trail and its not a good idea to trample on sensitive vegetation.

Hiked it on June 14, perfect conditions , snow has melted mostly and the trail stays, in the final push from the saddle, to the left of the white stuff. There is a short, 120 yard section of snow to cross near the top, no snow shoes or spikes were needed to cross it, good traction and solid enough to step right over. Summiting 6 PM had the Peak to myself. The views from the top are phenomenal. The trail is straight forward, no technical sections. Highly recommend.

This was my second 14er ever, and it was amazing! Definitely good for beginners, (I live in Florida, and climbed this after 4 days in CO) and one of my all time favorite hikes. There was even some snow on the summit because CO can't make up its mind about what season it is. Mountain goats and fellow hikers alike were great, and the terrain is never horribly sustained or difficult. My favorite 14er so far!

Heavily trafficked trail, but well maintained and great views. For an easy 2-3 hour hike close to Breck this one can’t miss.

We hike to the terminus of the new slide inFrisco, Colorado. We had to bushwhack quite a bit, but the view was fabulous.
