Because this steep but relatively short interpretive trail starts right at the Highwood Pass just below the treeline, it is one of the easiest routes in the Rockies to spectacular alpine glories. Take a wildflower book and a camera.
This sounds like a good workout, but beautiful flowers at the top as our reward. I don't want to go too slow, but there will likely be a number of rest stops along the way.
Feel free to invite anyone who you think may be interested. If they are strong hikers, they must be okay with us going at a more beginner pace. But fast enough that we all deserve our treat at the end! :-) |
