Ascent Trip Report

This is a nice easy horizontal hike from the gap parking lot. With outstanding views of Bierstadt and Evans. There was still snow on ground and some post-holing but the ridge line was clear and dry and followed the 4 wheel drive tracks up to the top. Then set my sights at the 12er in the distance. I lost the 4 wheel trail several times in the snow packs but had a good time
