| skorpeo | group of 25  Date Climbed: Jul 18, 2009 | |
| I led a group of kids from springs that was from Peace Camp Sponsored by the Peace and Justice commission. We were staying at the Mennonite camp so we cut half the hike out by starting from our cabins. Some whining and such (some kids were 6), but once on top everyone was very happy. Great views, scrambling on the rocks and millions of lady bird beatles (Lady Bugs). | |

| ktiffany22 | Lots of snow! Date Climbed: Apr 6, 2008 | |
| The word was sent not to bring snowshoes... don't believe that for one moment- it was post hole city! Great climb though :-) | |

| BeginnerClimber | Blissful way to spend 2 hours Date Climbed: Nov 9, 2007 | |
| Another great hike with my dog Keisha. My 4th summit and Keisha's 3rd. I just needed to get away from the schoolwork for a while and wasn't really planning on doing a long hike, but the lingering warm weather just called me out of the house. Up and down in 1:52, and spent less than a minute on the summit. Anyway, I took the small trail leading from the main trail just off the trail head instead of taking the 4-wheeler trail all the way. Anyone else do that? | |

| BeginnerClimber | 3rd time Date Climbed: May 11, 2008 | |
| Took my wife and our neighbors up. Beautiful day, but a little windy at the top. Ran into user "gulo" on the way down (see previous post). This was my third time on the summit. LOVE the views. | |

| gulo | great views Date Climbed: May 11, 2008 | |
| Beautiful day today, no clouds at all and fairly warm. Met several people going up on my way down. Thew views from top are incredible, all front range peaks still covered in snow | |

| BeginnerClimber | Sweet climb! Date Climbed: Apr 27, 2008 | |
| I just love this hike! Beautiful easy climb through the rolling forest and with a wide trail. Then, the trail tightens up for the final summit push and scramble. Still lots of snow on the summit push, but the summit was snow free. Great cloud-free views! Oh, and this was the first summit for my 18-month old huskie. Look for her on the trails! | |

| Nice snowy walk through the woods, with a little routefinding at the end (probably because I got off the trail earlier...). For the details, check my trip report. | |

| BeginnerClimber | Up n Down in 2 hours Date Climbed: Sep 13, 2007 | |
| OK, so from looking at the map, I figured that the route would be 1.5 miles to the summit. Turns out it was over 3. No problem, though, because the wide trail took me straight to the top. I didn't look too hard for the final scramble to the top of the rocks, but just sat and took pictures for a few minutes before running back to the car in under 45 minutes. All in all, an easy hike that could easily turn into a regular workout. | |

| Brad76 | Mid-May Summit Date Climbed: May 20, 2007 | |
| This was my second time hiking this trail, but the first time with my wife. The day was beautiful and clear at the start (8:25 AM) but the clouds rolled in as noon approached. We accidentally found a geo-caching box on top and signed it and left an item. | |

| csmcgranahan | Success Date Climbed: May 19, 2007 | |
| Carried my 11 month old son Ian to the summit in the kiddie backpack. My wife, Ian and I had a short picnic on the summit. The final twenty feet or so to the top was a minor scramble but remains non-technical if you poke around long enough. We didn't see a sole all day. | |

| sarah.simon | Nice, quiet tucked away mountain Date Climbed: May 18, 2003 | |
| Don't remember the route, just remember the solitude. Neat back-side views of Pikes, too. | |

| This is an excellent hike that you can squeeze in a few hours. We followed the old road w/o any problems and the trail was actually cairned. Still plenty of snow drifts, but not enough to warrant snowshoes. Great views of Pikes from the summit. | |

| downhilldave | Route Climbed: Standard route from Cantabarry Dr. Date Climbed: Oct. 1, 2005 | |
| From Divide I drove 1.9 miles and took a left on Cantabarry. I drove for 1 mile to a gate and parked. Look for the trail that runs under the powerlines and goes up to the ridge on the south. One once on the ridge you reach a road to whcih you can follow to make the summit. Good colors in all the aspen trees this time. I enjoyed the views of Sentinel Point, the Carigs, and the reservior. Great day for a hike | |
