My family and I went on this hike today. We have two kids, 14 and 12, and they could handle the hike with no problems. When you start off at the trailhead, it is a pretty steep incline for about a mile or so. Obviously, when you are hiking in the mountains you need to bring water and this hike is no exception. The first mile goes up a winding trail mostly in the shade of lodge pole pine trees. Once the trail ends, it opens up to a dirt road. You will have a 2 mile walk back downhill to the trailhead and parking lot. This part of the hike has great views of Breckenridge.
We started this hike right at noon and nobody else was on the hike which is perfect for distancing yourselves from other during the pandemic.
Bring a camera to take pictures.
