This is a nice little 6-7 mile loop that you can fit in after work in the summer. You get all of the work out of the way at first and then just enjoy a leisurely downhill/flat stroll back to your car. The wildflowers and wildlife viewing are amazing in July/August. It’s a great alternative to the oft travelled secret lake and sunset peak hikes in the area. By starting at the collins gulch trailhead, you can enjoy the highly sought after wildflowers in this area without paying an entrance fee.
