Pretty typical high peak trail-- bit of scrambling at the tops of both peaks (and you get to do the scrambling on the backside of Colvin and Blake twice), but nothing too crazy. The views from Colvin are breathtaking. Blake is a viewless summit, though if you are feeling up to it there is a lookout point another half mile or so past the peak. The mileage on this clocked in at 16 from the parking lot rather than 13.7-- this lines up with the mileage we got for Nippletop and Dial, which runs parallel.
