A wonderful hike in the "tundra", for a long time above the 4000m mark, former mines are falling into disrepair along the way; often visited but always nice conversations at the summit; be careful with the thunderstorm warning! Open mountain flank!

This pretty, rock-lined pond is a nice place to rest or enjoy a picnic. Keep an eye out for marmots that live in among the rocks; they look sort of like giant, grizzled ground squirrels.

Bugling Elk Trail is a wide, hard-packed dirt trail that takes you to the Elk Falls Pond. Once at the pond, there is a great spot for a picnic!

This broad, packed-dirt trail connects Elk Falls Pond to the broader trail network, including Chimney Rock Trail and Marmot Passage.

A seldom visited peak, Horseshoe Mountain sits at 13,898 feet and is easily combined with other peaks on the same ridge in the Mosquito Range. There is a summit registry at the top accompanied by 360 degree views over Weston Pass, Horseshoe Pass, and into the Buffalo Peaks Wilderness. The approach to the peak is very doable, but it's really rocky, and the trail seems to disappear at times. On your way to the summit, don't forget to stop at Horseshoe Pass and take in the views down into California Gulch.

At 14,043 feet, Mount Sherman is one of the highest peaks in the Mosquito Range. Like the other peaks in the grouping, Sherman is a rocky pile of talus. The trails reaching the summit ridge are steep, and the ridge itself is a mess of scree and sandy trails. With its short and straightforward approaches, Mount Sherman is one of the most frequently climbed 14ers in the state. There is limited running up the steep slopes to the peak, but the ridge itself and the way down serve as a fun, rocky trail run.
