Yes. It was soooo beautiful! 5 hours round trip. It’s doable. I needed to bring 1 liter gatorade! πŸ˜πŸ‘

It’s a fairly easy 1hr 15min downhill hike to here if you start Eaton Saddle Trailhead. However, heading backup can be more difficult and a little more treacherous as some parts of the trail is a little worn out. Taking the much longer route back out via Mt Lowe Rd is much easier as it’s a gradual incline but it will take about 2-2.5hrs total.

Haven’t been there for long time. The happiest thing is to see some snow. It’s my first time to see snow here. Here is a pavilion with some great view if the air is clear. You can see more by summit the peak nearby. It’s very close.

Start hiking up early on the summer. The same with parking, arrive early no adventure pass required. Get plenty of rest and sleep the day before if your a beginner. Enjoy thee Breath taking views from sam merril trail, echo mountain, castle canyon and point of destination.
