This trail is an alternative route to the more heavily used North and South Mount Elbert Trails for climbing Colorado's highest peak. This is a moderate to strenuous day hike with an elevation gain of 4,713 feet. Be aware of changing weather conditions on mountain peaks and prepare for them. This trail passes through spruce-fir and aspen stands, then through some rock beds to ruins of mining operations and cabins. Continuing your hike will bring you to timberline and eventually Mount Elbert (14,433). For those who don't wish to climb the peak, there are many excellent views from various points along the trail.
