About This Trail

According to a report, the first half of the trail is closed for restoration. It was the highest peak in Colorado. You can get to the summit from the east ridge. It was cold in May. It is the easy route from the other routes. It's categorized as a Class 1 route. There's a nice view of Twin Lakes and other mountains. It's important to check the weather before you go. Ice spikes or micro spikes should be used. It's a good idea to have a 4wd in the winter.
