About This Trail

Imported description
The highest point in the park is 7,832'. The last 25 feet requires a scramble up a rock wall, but you will get the ultimate panoramic view. The basin is where you can take the trail for 3.5 miles. The one mile trail to the summit cuts off at this point. This trail is very hard to beat for great views and solitude. Most hikers take about 6 hours for the journey.
