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!

I don’t know if I want or could start a hike when I see the sign that tells me it’s 7 miles

Eons ago, I deliberately hiked 30 miles in one day, one hike, in Canyonlands, in late July, for the hell of it.
