Description
Take the River Run Gondola to the top. It might be free with your ski pass (they can scan your Epic app), otherwise it's $49. When you step off the gondola, head towards the Outpost Gondola, go around the right side, and down the hill behind it. The trail weaves through the high forest, leading to more open terrain near the top with excellent views of the Tenmile Range and Lake Dillon. Take the scenic spur at the top, and scope out Bergman Bowl for next ski season.
