Itinerary description

This hike starts at the Hoosier pass of the continental divide. I did it counter clockwise. Most of the hike up is on a road which makes it easy. Few old mines on the way up (near Crystal lake) and and another one just before the final climb to the highest waypoint of the trail. You will have great views from there. I recommend taking the pedestrian trail on the way down. You will have view of both sides of the divide.
