Mount Audubon
From Mitchell Lake Trailhead, Indian Peaks— 7.9 Miles, 2,789 ft elevation gain. Similar to the RMNP, Indian Peaks has a lot of great hiking opportunities and this is one of them! This hike is close to the continental divide, but is much easier than other hikes like it. Enjoy!

Mount Evans
Square Top Mountain from Guanella Pass— 6.9 Miles, 2,549 ft elevation gain. This is not for the 14er but a hike that goes between two! The trailhead is behind the bathroom... once you get to the lake after the initial climb, keep right! This is a steeeeep hike but the view is beautiful. Beware... there is 4 false summits!
