Lovely hike..we went when it was covered in snow, but you can still make out the trails
Great hike and some amazing views.
Absolutely loved this hike. We went up while there was a snow melt and the creek was flowing rapidly and the run off was flowing inches deep down the trails. Near the top, snow still remained and was packed hard enuf to continue the ascent. We enjoyed resting at a meadow clearing where early morning mist rose from the damp ground. Frequent moose slat sightings. About 6 miles RT.
Good place for short hike.
For winter expect to spend an hour and a half one way! unless you got ski or snowshoe.
One of the gates is closed for a season. Use road from winter park
My wife and I had a great and wonderful time with nature, great trail for hiking, must be in a decent shape and ready for a good hike if you are willing to go to its end, up in the hills. This is a good 6 to 7 hours round trip if you like to workout, nature and a little adventure. Wear the proper attire and bring some snacks, lots of water and any other items you might need to be away for that time.
