Great hike!

With the elevation gains on this trail, carrying a full backpack is not an easy task. However, the trail is very easy to find. Beautiful views along the way. Lots of wildlife to admire. Be sure to bring plenty of sunscreen and bug spray. Plenty of places along the way to get water.

Best to begin this summit early in the day. We didn’t start until after 2 from Misty Moon Lake and were scrambling down from the summit in the dark. Like many times I’ve heard, this is an endless boulder hoping route, and there are several routes. Keep an eye out for Carins and just keep going up, up, up. The way down is easier route finding. The experience and views were spectacular!
