Be aware that this hike isn’t for everybody. With all the snow left over, some route-finding skills are necessary. It’s over 11 miles roundtrip and about 3,500 feet of elevation gain.

Once you reach the pass, there are an endless number of peaks to see. It’s the perfect opportunity to lay back, enjoy the view, and count the peaks you’d like to hike next.
