This is where you have to decide: hike down to the Canadian/US-Border to Monument 78 or take the challenge and hike all the way up to Frosty Mountain at 2.300 meters? If you want to climb the mountain, the ascent from here is much more difficult than taking the approach from the other side. But if you make it, you can be even more proud.

The ascent to Frosty Mountain stretches about 7.3 kilometers and you will gain approximately 700 meters in elevation. If you decide for Monument 78, it is just 6 kilometers all downhill.
