This is a great beginner's scrambling route. Very beautiful and a light class 3 hikes. The summit views are spectacular. You will see the awesome Rainbow Wall (1,200 feet) and Brownstone Wall (600 feet) as you make your way to the summit of Juniper Peak. This route is a good intro to class 3 scrambling. There will be boulder-hopping, a series of steep slabs, and some moderate technical action. There is one short section inexperienced scramblers may find difficult/intimidating but I’ll have webbing for those who need it.
