Dangerously slippery and late season so no traffic. Not safe with one vehicle
Wonderful despite the altitude - it’s an easy grade and the views at the end are definitely worth it.
Good one, great views. Very windy on parts, not too many people.
The route posted here is me starting at the parking lot walking for 1.5 hours and then starting to record to head back. So the total length is double what is posted. Amazing hike. Passed a few other hikers but not many. I was out from 2:15 5:00. Some breathtaking views on this one. I was camping in Ouray and this Is a great hike if you want to adventure out of town
A little smoky today due to the fire to the north. It made for some interesting pictures.
Nothing crazy, just a little cruise up the mound. Good workout for someone who doesn't hike and a good trail to get a decent view for people who aren't extreme hikers. I recommend this for beginners who want to challenge themselves just a tad bit
