Rabbit Ears Peak

The hike to Rabbit Ears Peak, named for its twin rock pillars visible from the highway, begins as a casual walk through a spectacular flowerland. For some hikers, the last 0.25 mile to the “ears” poses a challenge; to others, it’s a fun rock scramble. Either way, the views near the summit are grand.
