Access to such a grand location, with such ease, should be illegal. For the low admission price of a half dozen miles one can gain entrance to a primordial world of receding glaciers, wildflower carpeted meadows, and purple mountains majesties.

It is also a stepping stone to more ambitious cross country ramblings in the Alpine Lakes Wilderness.
