    Tips

    July 6, 2023

    After breaking through treeline on the North Mount Elbert Trail around 11,800 feet, it's a steep hike over several false summits. The trail becomes progressively rockier after leaving treeline, but it is easy to follow the entire time. Getting to treeline by sunrise can be a treat and a good benchmark for getting off the mountain early.
