Yummy hike, but if you are unused to the altitude you will huff and puff. It is worth the hike, regardless. Saw a ptarmigan, beautiful rock formations, great mountain wildflowers.

What a beautiful and breathtaking place. It was our Austrian exchange students favorite place so far. So tranquil and pretty. Perfect day there.
