Fairly Good Route
Started from the beginning of the 4WD road at 6:10 am. Spring is hitting the San Juan aspens and everything was GREEN! We took the South Slopes route. The La Garita Stock Driveway trail is indistinct across the beaver dams on East Willow Creek. Our feet were soaked. The trail becomes more distinct after the beaver dam crossing. I would advise downloading the route of a previous climber on Peakbagger to follow as you climb. The beaver dams along the trail are AMAZING. What magnificent engineers! The trail through the woods is well cairned and pretty easy to follow. The south slopes up to the summit are a SLOG! The views, however, are fantastic. San Juans, Sangres, Elks, Sawatch. Fantastic county high point and centennial 13er.
