Starts moderate but becomes very steep. Pay attention to RF on way up.


Hike
Start from Mesa Trail. Soon you'll turn onto Homestead. Further beauty emerges bout an hour in. Bout 1.5 hours in, it becomes significantly steeper. There is a bailout here. A trail emerges that loops you back. Otherwise, game on.

This is no longer a traditional trail, so pay attention, as the way forward can be a bit confusing at times. The rocky way up will make you work.

The path does ease up before the summit. The way forward becomes clearer. This is the highest summit in the snowiest city in CO. The route back proved easier to follow. Ideal number of people seen during this hike. I went on a Friday, so it could be crowded on the weekend?
