"Quick and easy hike up the North Ridge. Some lingering packed snow in spots. On the upper section above 13000' rocks seemed more loose than usual.

"Parking about 2 miles from the Fourmile Creek TH due to snow on the road, hit the trail around 7:30am and made the summit around 10:40am. Proceeded to head back down the mountain around 11am after resting and snacking, arriving back to the TH / car around 1:20pm. Sub 6 hour hike, which was well within goal time. Very snow-packed, very windy. Great day. " — Katamount • Dec 19, 2025
"Route finding wasn’t much of an issue although we did see some people going a more difficult way on the scramble (not on purpose). The last part was a scramble and some exposure, but not difficult. " — AmyScrambles • Sep 1, 2025
"Once out of the treeline it is very very steep although fully walk up and easy to find the trail. Any steeper and you’d be scrambling. More false summits than we were expecting." — AmyScrambles • Aug 31, 2025
"Went down half moon road all the way to the Southwest Slopes trail white knuckling the whole drive past the main trailhead. Uphill the whole time, barely any sections that mellowed out on elevation gain. Mtn Goats at top! Great views, and accomplishment! " — lizzieamancio • Jul 14, 2025
