This is an out and back hike. This will be an early season high altitude hike on a well-travelled trail. The first 0.8 mile to the ridge is steep, and the rest of the hike is north along the high ridgeline over some subpeaks to Mt Sniktau, then back and further south to Mt Cupid. This time of year, the route is mostly packed snow, so we will most likely need our microspikes. Highlights include 360-degree great views of snow-covered peaks.
