Hike Evergreen Mountain via East Trail Loop

Let's hike to the top of Evergreen Mountain for gorgeous views of the Continental Divide from the two rocky outcropping overlooks. The four rock formations, named Three Sisters and The Brother are long-time landmarks, providing amazing views of Bald Mountain, the Bear Creek Basin and Mount Blue Sky. We'll hike through open meadows, boulder fields, and forest; there is a mix of sun and shade along the route.

Note: We'll break into 2 groups of 14, which is the maximum number allowed per group, each with a leader, and keep 1/4 mile apart on the trails, to abide by park regulations.
