Rosalie Peak

Route: East Ridge
Posted On: 7/25/2021, By: MTBen
Info: summited pegmatite points instead of Rosalie because of somewhat threatening clouds over the summit of Rosalie, however they never developed into storms. The road getting up there is a bit rough, with some sizable potholes and rocks, but nothing most cars couldn't do just going slow and carefully. Not an incredibly busy trail so you can expect decent solitude (with the exception of some marmots above tree line).

Info: No report on trail conditions as pretty much everything in the area is summer conditions. Just wanted to note that if you are looking at this route and reference climb13ers.com for the Summit Lake route, the listed distance of 4.2 RT is actually the distance for one way. If you start at or around Summit Lake, go over Epaulet and Epaulie then to Rosalie, it is all of 8.5 miles round trip. Super easy route but just wanted to clarify the mileage in case anyone was planning for a much shorter day. ;-)

Info: Virtually no snow below the saddle and quite avoidable up to the peak.

Info: Trail has some avoidable water and a few small, shallow snow patches below the saddle. From the saddle to the peak there are a few snowfields, but nothing too deep or long - you could probably almost completely avoid the snow if desired. The saddle to Epaulie looks near completely dry. Lots of moose sign in the area (and another fellow spotted a mom with two babies).

Info: Totally dry at trailhead, first little patch of snow at 10k then frequent small patches by 10,400ft. Midway from saddle to summit it becomes fairly continuous for a while. Never needed floatation but started half past midnight and was back at the trailhead before noon (did all 3 13ers). Snow was firm on the way up and had just enough give on the way down to plunge step comfortably downhill. Some people might want microspikes for patches of snow/ice but I never put mine on.

Info: Lots of snow below treeline and above on the route, but I only put on snowshoes for about a 1/4 mile just before treeline and didn't use them at all on the way down. My partner put them on and wore them most of the way down once we hit treeline, but we really didn't posthole much. This will probably change as the days get warmer and the snow gets softer.

Info: Good trail up to ridge, mostly dry from there. No flotation or traction for the climb. Snowshoes were very useful for the descent between the ridge and treeline. I kept them on all the way back to the TH.

Info: The route is in. There is a track all the way to treeline, and to the summit. We started at 10:00 am and summited at 3:15pm. It was warm and while snow shoes were not needed until 10,500' going up. I was post holing with my snow shoes on the way down. I found the hike down to be almost as fun as the hike up! We were able to get to Deer Creek trailhead in a RAV4 SUV, and the snow to the trailhead is starting to melt out. We saw only one vehicle and a few others on the trail.

Info: Was able to get to TH in my Accord. Good trench to tree line. Mix of tundra and snow to ridge. Easy to navigate around snow patches and stay mostly on tundra and rock to summit.

Info: This TR is helpful https://www.14ers.com/php14ers/tripreport.php?trip=12919 Biked up to the wilderness boundary then followed camp creek to the upper basin which was dry and imagine this would be a marshy mess in late spring/early summer. Tree cover was helpful as the cold front pushed through. Tolerable winds above treeline. Wind shelter up top was helpful. Seems snow skipped the front range peaks. This low hanging fruit of a peak was quite sweet. Get it while it's hot!

Info: Got lost twice early on by not following the trail well, but that's probably more our own fault than the trail; however, it could be faint in places. Summer conditions on the Tanglewood Trail, but still some snow fields on Rosalie Peak that are fairly easy to cross without traction or flotation. The last 1.5 miles up Rosalie was brutal and took us a little over an hour. Overall, 3.5 hours up, 2.5 hours down.

Info: Even less snow now. Only a few snow fields near the top. No traction needed.
