Such a great way to see all the yellow Aspen in October. The loop was littered with the fall yellow leaves. Loved it and great hike. read more

Be prepared for a very Rocky and tough uphill ascent. That said it's such a beautiful hike that I'd recommend to anyone that is physically fit! read more

Length: 6.8-mile loop Difficulty: Moderate Elevation: 8,536 to 10,284 feet Trailhead GPS: N 3523.177', W 11140.601 I consider this hike moderate to difficult due to altitude and elevation gain. Also short stretch of very loose gravel on the Abineau trail. Nice forest fitness hike. Some beautiful views, but not one of my favorites in the area. I would choose the Inner Basin trail from Lockett Meadow for Fall foliage over this trail. Forest roads had a few areas that were alittle rough but there were regular cars in the parking lot, not just high clearance vehicles. You can also access the Inner Basin trail from these trails. read more

Awesome hike but be aware as you go up the temperature drops significantly so prepare accordingly. The parking lot also may or may not not have claimed my balljoint in my vehicle, how ever I would not place entire blame there as my vehicle is far from new but as a precaution I would like it is far from paved so keep that in mind read more
