This might be the best hike I’ve done in BSP with the exception of the Knife Edge. Hiked with 7 & only saw 2 others all day. Perfect weather, views were stunning! Trail is fairly easy but wow does it get steep. I would hesitate coming down this way. Very gentle grades on the other side. We spent probably an hour between both peaks, no wind blue skies. This is a must do hike if coming into BSP! |
