Beautiful hike. The san juans are one of my favorite ranges ever. I was stoked to finally have bagged a peak there. Started at matterhorn creek trail at the lower trailhead around 6:15am. Had a brief sprinkle about an hour in which brought a cool half rainbow. Saw 4 deer and a handful of pika and marmots. Few other hikers. Some beautiful purple and white flowers (columbines i think). I didn't see the grazing sheep but i did hear the dogs barking aggressively at something way out in the distance... glad it wasn't me. Views from the summit were spectacular. Couple clouds in the distance but otherwise very clear and no smoke. Back to car at 11am sharp. 8.65 miles RT. The Matterhorn to Wetterhorn traverse looked spicy, and Uncompahgre peak in the distance looked like a fun hike. Cant wait to go back!
