This hike should take around 3.5-4 hours. The hike gets a little steeper towards the top and it probably feels a little harder due to the altitude. For those who are interested, let's stop at the Ouray Brewery after the hike. No dogs please.

Let's meet in Ridgway at the parking lot by Hartwell Park at 8:30am. That's at the NW corner of Sherman St and N Railroad St in Ridgway. From there, we'll caravan to the TH.
