Hiking
The summits of Parrott, Madden, and Star Peaks are all just under 12,000 feet. The mountains are all along the ridge creating the western flank of the La Plata Mountains. The ridge, itself, does not have an established trail, but it's easy to follow the ridge and find evidence of paths taken by other trail users. Hiking this ridge is a great way to see La Plata Canyon without climbing some of the more technical and demanding peaks in the range.
