This trail is a nice alternative to climbing up Medicine Bow Peak, and the first part in particular (to Lookout Lake) is a great family-friendly outing. Expect some steady elevation gain, and be ready for weather to change quickly. Because of the rapidly changing weather and storms that are common in this area, the Forest Service recommends not hiking this trail after 3pm.
