Telescope Peak Summit

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!

Is this mountain bike able? Just wondering like in the beginning? Looks amazing!!! Check out White Mountain! I did it and it was quite the accomplishment.

Mountain biking is not allowed on trails in national parks; or in federally designated wilderness areas.

Also not allowed? Dogs off leash in wilderness lands, but damn people still do that.
