Trail Overview

This trail's elevation is above 8,000 feet for its entire length and tops out at 8,900 feet. The trail crawls along grassy alpine ridges with steep rocky ups and downs that seem to go on forever. This is a good place for the full alpine experience. There are whole new varieties and species of plants and animals at these elevations and the sharp cool air is refreshing. The views are great and you can see far in every direction.
