A last-minute decision took us to Lundin Peak this morning, and it did not disappoint! The trail was in good shape overall, with just a few rocky sections and a couple of creek crossings. We followed it to the end but couldn’t find a safe route to the summit, so we turned back and enjoyed lunch at the pass instead. The views were incredible with bursts of fall colors, and blueberries were still plentiful—such a perfect snack. Best of all, we had the trail completely to ourselves. What an amazing way to wrap up September in the mountains!

- Uli on Lundin Peak
Depends on what you call "safe". About 50 ft or so before the trail ends there is a way to downclimb to the West and then traverse to the East summit of Lundin, then downclimb to the saddle between the East and West (true summit) peaks. It's class 3 / 4 with some exposure. The West summit is more involved and I have never done it. I've heard both class 4 scramble and 5th class. Maybe if you know exactly where to go there is a 4th class route?
