Mount Chapin Summit Trail – Mount Chiquita – Ypsilon Mountain Traverse
The chance to bag three scenic peaks is tempting; to do so without heart-busting exertion seals the deal. Moderate alpine terrain brings you to these friendly mountains. The incredible perspective from the top of Ypsilon’s southeast couloir down to Spectacle Lakes alone is worth the trip. Every step of the way is chock-full of scenery that elevates your senses. If three summits aren’t enough, ambitious hikers can carry on to Fairchild Mountain. A walk along these mountains embodies the freedom of the hills.
