Nothing better than waking up in the cirque to this view!

General View of Corner Canyon Approach Trail

I found this tree to be key beta for the Alpine approach (which is a bit confusing near the top). I have done both Alpine and Jacob's Ladder and really can't figure out which is worse. . .

Some info about Lone Peak. <br>
(To some locals the peak is called Mt. Jordan after their high school's name.)

This is where the hiking starts for the Jacobs Ladder trail. The parking area is about 100 feet back down the road.<br>
