The most popular hike in Colorado… for good reason! 💭 

I make fun of it for the crowds. And then eat my words because I love it so much lol.

I know I cried the first time I saw this place.

This is not a hike you’ll be alone. Ever. You’ll have 500 trail friends by the end of it. And it’s my absolute favorite to solo hike…
