Sniktau (13,234') and Cupid (13,117') - Beginner Friendly

Let's make some red blood cells with an 'easier' hike to two 13ers on Loveland Pass. I love this one because of its proximity to Denver, the straightforward route and the stunning views of snow-covered front range mountains. It also has the benefit of starting at 12,000 ft. This is a nice introduction to alpine hikes, or a great season starter.

Cupid is optional on this hike. Without Cupid this is a 4.5 mile route.
