 South East Ridge   

Perfect day! We headed up sat night, camped at the wrong site, 4wd the wrong road heading towards the mountain. We finally found a trail (turned out to be the colorado trail) which brought us to the south east ridge trail. VERY EASY. Not a cloud in the sky, perfect steps in the snow up and wonderful glasading down. (Only took about an hour and a half to get back to the car because we followed the snow line instead of the trail and then traverssed across to meet the trail at the bottom.

Ill post some pics when I get a chance. Have a blast! Summer is here!
