Description

Amazing views at the top and a really engaging trail, especially the scramble to the top. The trail is not that long, but the steep grade makes it much harder.

Went just past the saddle and started up the scramble when we thought better of it. Great hike!

Conditions were decent. A lot of compact snow. Happy I had crampons, everyone that had micro spikes turned around. 6.7mi

Felt like I walked from Utah into middle earth and then into Narnia. Definitely not an easy hike/climb bring your spikes and poles!

Great day! There's a saddle about 85.37% of the way up. No snow (other than little patches) up top. Brand new mailbox at the summit for sharing you… 3.4mi

Time accounts for hike up and down. Very steep, but a doable hike for beginners. Great views from both the saddle and peak. 3.3mi
