Drove up from Vegas Friday night. Started from the Timpooneke Trailhead and hiked the trail to the summit. We debated glissading down the steep snow slope, but there was a rescue going on, so we just took the other trail back to Aspen Grove, where we had other cars. We saw a TON of mountain goats on this hike. This is definitely one of the most beautiful hikes I've done! Waterfalls, towering cliffs, goats, a beautiful meadow - this hike had it all! The only thing I didn't like were the hoards of people.
