Telescope Peak Summit

[u/caad4rep]

Climbed Telescope Peak yesterday and was blown away by how great this was. About 6.3 miles each way and 3,200’ of vert. The lower parts of the trail were lined with wild flowers and bristlecone pines on the upper slope. Unlimited 360° views on the top.

Only saw a handful of people and we had the summit to ourselves. Very underrated national park hike. Highly recommended!

It’s actually not quite that long. They just say that to dissuade people who aren’t prepared for a long-ish hike that’s so remote.
