    Tips

    July 12, 2023

    After breaking through treeline on the North Mount Elbert Trail around 11,800 feet, it's a steep power hike over several false summits. The trail becomes progressively rockier after leaving treeline, but it is easily to follow the entire time.

    The trail is VERY steep after leaving the Colorado Trail so hiking might come before treeline. Regardless, the trail is much harder to run above treeline. You can definitely run most of the downhill, though.
