About the event
The hike begins with a steady ascent through dense aspen and pine groves, where you’ll be greeted by the soothing sound of Cataract Creek. As you climb higher, the trail opens up to sweeping views of the surrounding peaks and valleys, making every step worth the effort. One of the highlights of the hike is the series of waterfalls along the way, each more picturesque than the last. This moderate to strenuous trail is about 6.5 miles round trip and reaches elevations of over 11,000 feet, so be prepared for a good workout and the thinner mountain air. But the rewards are plentiful, from wildflower-filled meadows to the serene beauty of alpine vistas.
We have done this hike many times and it is one of our absolute favorites!
