Medicine Bow Peak sits at 12,013 feet (3,662 m) in elevation, and the trail to reach it is entirely above treeline. That means it's exposed to the elements and the weather — so although it may be a trail runner's natural inclination to go lightly and with minimal equipment, make sure you're prepared to deal with bad weather if it happens. The US Forest Service even recommends traveling here in the morning, as weather patterns tend to be even less stable in the afternoon.
