My friend Jason and I hiked this one together, because I was bringing my church youth group up a couple weeks later to hike it, and I wanted to make sure I knew what we were getting into first!
We started about 1:00 in the afternoon from Stratton, and took our time, stopping regularly just to chat, and look at the wildlife. Got some nice pictures of deer, chipmunks, and other interesting things.

At one point near the end you come into a clear spot where you can see beautiful views of Flagstaff lake to the north. And, as you look ahead, you catch a glimpse of the peak, which appears to be a ways off...but in reality, once we saw the peak we were only 15 minutes hike away from it.
