Camped at Baker Creek campground- the Wheeler campground was all full (Labor day weekend) and started around 8 am. The hike is fairly easy the first 3 miles - you just leasurly walk through the meadows and sub-alpine aspen forests. The last mile, not gonna lie, is pretty grueling. The trail is obvious, so just follow that. One step at a time!

We got lucky the weather was great — 65 all day and no wind. I hear that can be a problem for hikers.

Worth the effort! Great views all around.
