Eldorado Peak — Friday, Aug. 1, 2025

fairly rugged trail, lots of loose, steep dirt, boulders, just gnarly in the first mile -think mailbox old trail.

boulder field wasn't too ba, butthere'ss a trail that comes and goes on climbers right.It'lll save some knee pain on the way down. can be hard to find, and some overgrown areas can make it difficult.

after boulderfield, you're greeted by a huge open area with spectacular views and some wildlife for the last half mi to ridge.

going down ridge and back up with a heavy pack was rough, bu there was lots of solid rock for hands and feet.

slept before glaicer on some flat rock areas with great water souces.

climb to glaicer fairly easy we stayed on rock till we couldn't anymore. glaicer was mellow.

reached high camp and some rangers there gave us some good beta, we quickly transitioned from snow to rock and theres a faint trail on rocky ridge area. some weird moves. we continued on rock until last maybe .10 of mi (after the 4 mini van sised crevasses)

got up to knifes edge, and slowly made our way to summit.

10/10 views, no good water sources for first 1.5mi or so but plenty once you get out of boulderfield.
