Paintbrush Canyon/Cascade Canyon?
Posted: Sat Jul 31, 2010 4:16 am
I'm a decent hiker. I definitely want to hike Paintbrush Canyon. I was thinking of an in-out hike back to the trailhead after seeing if I can summit Paintbrush Peak.
If I get an early start, would it be possible to do the entire loop of Paintbrush/Cascade in a single day? One reason I want to give it a shot is that I hear that the views from Lake Solitude to Paintbrush Divide are some of the best in the park.
But I hate hiking in the dark, and I'll be hiking alone, so I don't want to try to push things too far.
