- Description:
- With the snow climbing fading fast in the recent heat, I decided to
just go for a hike this weekend. I did the standard Mount Harvard
and Mount Columbia loop from North Cottonwood Trailhead. Despite
this being a "standard route", it ended up being a pretty big day because
of the length of the hike and elevation gained. Aaron opted to
forego the traverse and just hike Mount Harvard. It was a great
weather day that allowed me to climb two more 14ers. Horn Fork Basin
is a beautiful area that I thought was definitely worth visiting.
