This is an off-trail hike with some scrambling. Starting near Wild Basin in RMNP, go off trail towards Lookout mountain. From there there are great views of Mt Meeker and the Indian Peaks. Then continue off-trail to neighboring peak Horsetooth mountain. Finally, descend using standard trails looping back to the initial parking spot. There are some sections of scrambling interspersed throughout.
