Hiked this 10/14/23 - road to the campground is still closed. Expect a 3.2 mile walk (860 elevation gain) to the campground meadow (small thicket of aspens and views up the San Francisco peaks were beautiful) there is a forest service out house style bathroom but NO WATER SOURCES. Then you go a bit farther through the campground to find the actual trail head. Another 2-3 mile walk with almost double the elevation gain before you get into the aspen forest. We did not go quite to the top, but the aspens were beautiful, just a couple switch backs up. 10.5 miles round trip and took us 6 hours with picture and lunch breaks.
