4/5 - Good

Verified traveler

Bring warm clothes and layers for any outdoor activities, especially in fall/winter but even in summer. High altitude means quickly changing weather and often big temperature differences morning to afternoon.

5/5 - Excellent

Great hiking. Be prepared for rutted dirt roads to get to many of the trailheads.

4/5 - Good

Sonny

We went to the Copper Basin and up to Stanley.  Go there. Both are different from each other.
