It’s a great way to soak up the mountain views, get some fresh air, and enjoy the outdoors together. The route is easy to moderate, perfect for most fitness levels. Be prepared for altitude (the lodge sits at about 8,200 feet), which can make the hike feel a bit tougher for those not used to it. Don’t forget your water bottle!
