This is good accomplishment for kids, only about a quarter mile with 500 feet elevation gain; the first picture on this page tells it like it is. Views are great, but not that much better than driving the road. We had 20-25 mph wind, my understanding is that the wind gets a *lot* stronger.
There's no trail. There are several high-use areas nearby with paved paths, where rangers might talk to you if you left the pavement, but Sundance is (relatively) lower use.

Don't know if this really counts...but I did stand on top after a short walk from TRR. Nice summit! Some fun rocks to scramble on east of the summit.

From Trailridge
Because of the recent death of my husband's daughter (now ex-husband) this was a sad day, so we decided to find an easy sunny place to celebrate his birthday.

Strange outing with the road so close, but fun enough anyway.
