Ha! Adam, I saw your write up on this. You are just the ultra-community guy!

Trail: The trail was a nice easy to moderate trail and very scenic. It starts out as mainly dirt with occasional roots winding its way through thick timber. As you gain altitude the trees thin out and the trail becomes more rocky. I never went all the way up to the lake. I had meant to go to Wurtz Ditch and, after a mile and a half or so, realized my mistake and went back.

Trail to mountain hut and Slide Lake is 3-4 miles total. Trail is all level 4-5 when open. Several rock gardens across the trail where stock vehicles will need to navigate a good line in order to not bottom out. A few deep mud pits that should be taken slowly as obstacles are hidden. Creek crossings in several places. Many high meadows and beautiful views of the continental divide. Suggest stopping at mountain hut to sit on the deck surrounded by 14ers and take in the sights.
