PTARMIGAN PEAK/LOOP

 This hike was AWESOME!!!!  And Sarah says its even more amazing in the fall when the aspen are changing!
 

 I haven't done to many hikes (maybe none) where it actually gets easier as you got closer to the top!  Of course you are still going up, but the further you go up, the less steep the grade gets, making you feel strong and fast!! 
It was so nice to not be huffing and puffing, like I usually am!
 

 

 Sarah and I enjoying the beautiful 360 views from the top!  I think my tick list of peaks to hike just tripled!!

 Thanks for the amazing day Sarah!! Can't wait to do it again!!!!!

You do have the option of making this a loop instead of going out and back.  I got the impression this trail isn't used as much.  The trail fades out in a couple of places, but still really easy to follow.  About a mile shorter than taking the up trail down, but much steeper!
