This trail is kinda steep so prepare yourself for a serious trek. Bring plenty of water and pack out whatever you pack in. The whole mountain range is fairly beautiful and pristine, I'd hate to see trash up there. While here pay our respects to the boy scouts who lost there lives up there while caught in a blizzard. But don't get too caught up being somber there's an unbelievable amount of beauty and wildlife all around you, especially for birders. So bring you camera, your binoculars, and your sense of adventure, and enjoy the hike. Bring plenty of water tho. The spring is about 4 miles up. If you do get water from the spring, make sure to filter it or use tablets, but don't worry, the water is delicious....

Would recommend bringing trekking poles and more water and food than you think you’ll need.
Undoubtedly worth the effort if you can make...
