Previous reviewers did a fine job. I'll augment. I did the Lake Marie loop of 7+ miles on a spectacular Saturday morning. The loop enCompasses the bulk of the alpine area and reminds me a great deal of the Canadian Rockies. I took my two dogs on this loop and we were met by a huge number of other dog owners. Despite the fact that this hike is in the least populated state in the country there were quite a few hikers on the trails probably because the weather forecasts were extremely favorable. The previous weekend this range was shrowded in low scudding, menacing clouds. Views to die for with lots of alpine lakes glistening below you. But its the sheerness and bald face contrast with the snow fields and alpine lakes that make this moderate hike, particularly striking.

Great day hike when returning to visit my old college. I did the seven mile route by Lake Marie. I chose the far west route which gradually increases in elevation, as opposed to the eastern loop route which is dramatically steeper. I did this early in the morning to avoid the afternoon lightning strikes that has been happening to Wyoming this summer! Took me about 4 hours, with significant soak in time at the top to complete
