11 miles of hiking • 3500' elevation gain •
Our plans were a bit overambitious for the late start. A few inches of fresh snow remaining on some of the shaded areas above 3000 ft. We left bikes near the northern TH and drove back down near Oklahoma Campground to begin our traverse on the Monte Carlo Trail. The northern section of this traverse over Monto Carlo and Monte Cristo is lovely. Moonlight snow biking on the way out for the first few miles, what a hoot!
