| Nice views of Mummy Range and Never Summer Range. Those approaching dark clouds above the peaks looked surreal! | |

| Got a late start today due to mechanical issues, and squeezed in this summit just before the storms hit. Hung out on the summit 'til approaching storm clouds chased me off. Dynamite views from this peak, plus saw two mighty huge bull elk near the mountain on the drive out. Was good to get back on Trail Ridge Road, it had been a few years. | |

| Easy, fun, and great views. Not a cloud in the sky, chilled on top for like a half hour, peaceful. | |

| I went to Sundance with my CMC BMS instructor, Matt, to practice some snow climbing in the couloirs north and east of the mountain. We went up and over the summit, then east and down into the cirque. We were gonna go up the northernmost of the east facing couloirs, but the snow conditions were not copacetic, so we climbed right back up the north facing slope, then back over the summit again on the way to the car. The park service just opened the road about a week ago, so there's still a fair amount of snow up on Trail Ridge. | |

| After being turned away from Snowdrift by a ranger due to a fire on the west side I decided to make the annual fall pilgramage up Fall River Road and also added a few ranked bumps along the way. | |

| chicagotransplant | Tundra walk Date Climbed: Aug 15, 2010 | |
| Hiked up the tundra from the Forest Canyon overlook parking area. Saw a nice herd of a dozen or so elk on the slopes on the way up. Part of a day touring the peaks along Trail Ridge Road. | |

| ryguy79 | North side couloir Date Climbed: Jun 12, 2010 | |
| Fantastic couloir climb on the north side. Easy approach from Trail Ridge Rd, downclimbed mixed snow and rock and back up one of the narrower couloirs. Fun day despite poor visibility and new snow in June. | |

| I took my son with me on this one. Saw my first Brown-capped Rosy Finches. There was still lots of snow in the area. | |

| Arthur Digbee | Good kid mountain | |
| 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. | |

| Yeti | Trail? | |
| Anyone know if we can be fined for going off the trail? :) | |

| Arthur Digbee | Re: Trail? | |
| 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. | |

| 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. | |
