Narrative:
This is a beautiful hike from below via Heart Lake or from above, on the State Line Trail. It's a true high country experience because it features a variety of habitats from wood riparian areas to high country cirque basins to subalpine meadows. A long easy hike and a real treat. Fishing is fair.
