For some, Lazy Mountain is a quick, after-work hike. For others, it's a goal to hit the peak once by the end of summer. But no matter your outlook, this peak is a calf- and quad-burning effort on the way up, and almost as exciting on the way down.

Running

The very last stretch of trail to the summit, which is marked by a flagpole, is too steep to really run. But it's not a scramble, quite, so you can hike right up for a righteous selfie, if that's your thing, and some amazing views.
