RATING
Fairly easy, though
it gets steep
at the top

FEATURES
Alternating views
of Longs Peak
and Ypsilon
Mountain

DESCRIPTION
This trail is very
enjoyable even
without going all
the way to the
summit.  The
scenery along the
first mile and a half
alone is worth
the hike.  If you
want to summit a
mountain but need
something easier,
this is a good choice.

SIDETRIPS
You can continue
past the summit
all the way to
Estes Park.
