Great trail, last .7 miles to Summit lake is hard and footing is decent but you need to stay cautious.

Vet very busy trail. My friend and I did it on Saturday and the 14er association counted 300 when we ask him. But it was very cold and windy. Please be safe hopping around on the rocks. Otherwise enjoy..

Beautiful easy 14er hike. Extremely popular and busy however. We arrived at 5:30am and parking was already extending down the road to the trailhead and hundreds of people were on the trail. First mile or so is flat, then straight up for the rest of the hike. As an infrequent hiker it took about 2.5 hours to summit.

Beautiful hike through a lush willow covered valley with a small stream crossing (was able to stay dry by rock hopping across). The terrain is easy to navigate and seasoned hikers won’t fine this to be challenging. The most challenging part of this hike is the altitude and last 50 vertical feet to the summit on rocky terrain.
This is a hike you want to do early in the morning in order to beat the crowds and afternoon storms.
