This trail was rated intermediate, with an elevation gain of 1200 feet the first 3 miles, at which point we savored the views and then returned to do a hike on a neighboring mountainside.
Ellen gets a photo of a very large red mushroom with white spots like measle markings.
Don't let the smiles fool you -- they are just for the camera. When you are doing strenuous exertion at 12,000 feet, you are sucking air a lot more than you are smiling, though the vistas are a payoff that makes the effort worthwhile.
