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.
