"My group took a wrong turn and went to Oso Spring. After about 1.5 hours of very difficult terrain we turned around. I had a lot of fun though."
"This is a very nice hike. Great views and I'd not call it anything but easy. A little moderate for some I suppose. Very enjoyable. No fees."
"Really lovely trail. I turned around after about 3.5 miles and ascending about 2k feet. It keeps going for a while but I started around 2pm and wanted to make sure I got back before sunset. Pretty exposed in the beginning with minimal shade, but after about 2 miles in there is full shade, aspens, wildlife including a flock of turkeys I spotted on the hike, and cooler temperatures. The brush gets a little close into the trail later on so if you don't like it brushing against your skin, wear some light long sleeved clothing. Not too difficult to follow though there are a couple forks, I recommend just popping open google maps briefly to make sure you're following the right path. But overall it is not too difficult to follow. Just lots of upward movement."
