This hike is at elevations between 11,000 - 12,000' which may make it seem more challenging than a low altitude hike.  Also expect some snow.

Our pace will be moderate but we will take time to photograph wildflowers.

Gore Range members may contact leader to sign up early, but must do their own cancellations if necessary.
