Description
Beautiful area with tons of gorges and open meadows. Did a 12 (about) mile loop in the area in July and all snow on trail was melted and lakes were full. Trail is well marked in most areas, and alternates between up, down and flat ground. Really liked this trail because it was real well marked, there are plenty of open areas so that you get a great view without having to be on top of a mountain, and the terrain changes often enough that the hike stays interesting. Make sure you get a topo map when you go though because there aren\'t very many good places to set up camp and you probably need to plan out a spot ahead of time on the map.

Directions to Hike
Just get on 70 west and exit at Frisco. At the round-a-bout take the second right-hand turn and trailhead is down the dirt road.

Contact Information
There is a visitor center in Frisco if you want a free road map, but the trail map they give you is pretty much useless. Things aren't to scale, and you really should just get a topo before you go.
