"Climbed the east ridge with the Lockwood Foundation's annual Trailride a 14er event. Beautiful experience with dozens of other people helping a woman with ALS gain one more peak.

"Reached the parking lot by 0400 and started hiking around 0420 The road to the trailhead was closed so it added 1mi exactly each way, which was relatively easy, but a pain coming back. I made quick of the climb, reaching trailhead by 0435, the tree line by 0550, and summited by 0750. I stayed at the summit to wait for some folks for about 40 mins, which cooled me down quite a bit. I descended and made it back to the trailhead by 1042 and to my car 15 mins later. There was some smoke from the Dixie fire in California which impacted some of the views, but still magnificent. I look forward to exploring more 14ers in the area soon. The hike was not too difficult, but the two false summits do crush your spirit a little, even if you expect them." — mchikes • Aug 9, 2021

"Up from the North trail, which due to road closures ended up being around 12 miles. My first 14er and first time being up past 12,000 ft in a few months, so I was feeling the elevation. Overcast day, but great views at the summit. Nice run down to the car just as afternoon thunderstorms were rolling in. Not the most exciting mountain, but beautiful scenery.

"Impulse afternoon hike. Perfect weather forecast allowed me to start late. Faint trail headed up to Dyer with a few soft snowfields, then more snow on the way to Gemini. Still a large snowfield between Gemini and Sherman but mostly avoidable. Coming down Sherman more unavoidable snow, slick mud, and several stream crossings made for very wet feet. If these temps hold the next few days will be pretty sloppy but all the snow might be gone in a week.
