Started track 45 minutes, .5 - .75 miles, and about 600’ up into hike. Detoured up Ellie Creek to avoid bull moose on ridge trail. Stopped many times to cut deadfall.

Great scenery all the way in. Moderate intensity. In early August, the wildflowers are out of this world. Please stay on the trail and do not cut straight up the hill.

Started the run in the morning fog. As it lifted there were scenic views of the surrounding mountains and Hebgan Lake. Nice views for an area with an over abundance of lodge pole and flat straight roads

What was once a nice quiet hike has turned into a zoo. The trail is littered with dog poo bags and actually reeks of dog urine. Popularity comes with a cost and in this case a once nice hike has been ruined.

Great first hike for someone new to being in an alpine environment, and also a fun hike for more experienced hikers. This was my fiancé’s first “big peak” and we had a great time!

Trail is well maintained. About a 2000 foot elevation gain over the course of four miles. The last mile and a half are pretty steep by not hard.

Great ski resort. Lots of mountain to ski and explore. A few rocks in different places higher up on the mountain but overall real fun.
Know your skill set and know where you’re going.

Great trail, awesome views. Trail is very rocky and is a steady climb from start to finish. The lake at the top is worth the trip.

Great hike-spots where it is rocky but a good hike for most hikers. About a 4 mile hike from top of chairlift down.

Fun up hill hike. Followed a trail to 7000ft then bushwhacked up to 7200 and back home.
