This was only my 4th closest, unclimbed, ranked peak, but was closest in terms of driving distance by far. ~80 miles from my residence and just over an hour from Fort Collins in a 2WD vehicle, its hard to complain that I hiked over 11 miles for an 8er. I found a register on top in the cairn on the north end of the summit. Only 1 large party from 1973 signed in listing how many fish they caught. I couldn't sign in because there was nothing left to write with. I thought the boulder on the south end was higher.
