You can access this trail from the Nederland side of the mountain. On this side of the mountain, there are more people. If you want a more secluded experience, try accessing from the west side. I'd only recommend doing this trail from late June - early September as the snow can lead to very slippery conditions. Permits are required June-September. Be prepared for changing weather!

Great spot little camping spot and a great way to ease your way into exploring the Indian Peaks Wilderness.
