How's the road out?

I am unsure, however, I think there will be a change in plans and I will end up doing Pike's.

Pikes may be very busy that day. The incline reopens the day before.nquesnel wrote:I am unsure, however, I think there will be a change in plans and I will end up doing Pike's.

"It is not the critic who counts, not the man who points out how the strong man stumbled, or where the doer of deeds could have done better. The credit belongs to the man who is actually in the arena; whose face is marred by the dust and sweat and blood; who strives valiantly; who errs and comes short again and again; who knows the great enthusiasms, the great devotions and spends himself in a worthy course; who at the best, knows in the end the triumph of high achievement, and who, at worst, if he fails, at least fails while daring greatly; so that his place shall never be with those cold and timid souls who know neither victory or defeat." (Theodore Roosevelt)

I wouldn't worry. Ideally you would be starting Pikes earlier than most people will be doing the incline (assuming hiking the peak in one day) and if you take Barr trail, you wont see too much of a crowd.MUni Rider wrote: Pikes may be very busy that day. The incline reopens the day before.
