Square Top Mt. Hike 10/5/10
Square Top Mountain is located in Mt. Evans Wilderness and is
nearly a 14er.  The 6.31 mile hike went to 13,335 feet for a
vertical rise of 2,623 feet.  We did not reach the summit
because of threatening weather.
At the lower elevations the trail at
times was an old wagon train road.

the summit.

There are two lakes below the

There was a shelter at 13,000 feet.
