Need to Know

The total roundtrip distance from Mitchell Lake TH is 8.4 miles. Very exposed above treeline so be mindful of afternoon storms.

Runner Notes

The last 600 feet is a large talus field marked by cairns. This is very difficult to run on.

Description

Now above timberline, the Mount Audubon Trail continues to climb in a consistent manner with the exception of two somewhat steeper sections near the middle and end of the trail. The developed trail ends at the saddle where there is a view down into the Coney Lake drainage. For the final mile and 600 vertical feet, follow the piles of rock (cairns) up the talus to the summit.
