Sick hike, really good Saturday! Total time for us was about 3 hours (we spent some time climbing around at the top) and all and all did about 9.7 miles!
Couldn’t have been a better hike to get up to 7000 ft for the first time of the year.
Wonderful ecological diversity and beautiful scenery. Highly recommend!!
Had a great hike, empty trail. We left the parking lot at 10:20 and returned appx 2:20. Beautiful sweeping views, great rock outcroppings at the top to sit and have lunch. When you get to the top, a trail heads to the right, this winds farther up and through a small forested area on the top of Granite Mountain. Lots of birds in the forest at the beginning of the hike before we began to ascend. The climb was totally fine, not too steep of a grade.
