An easily accessed hike right off of the highway (I70). Beautiful wildflowers, amazing views and some nice lakes at the top. The hike to the lake starts off pretty steep but levels off.

Running

Your run will be rewarded with a stunning view of Herman Lake as it rests beneath the shelter of Pettingell Peak. The trail up to the lake is packed dirt singletrack that is nontechnical but climbs steadily.
