Begin your day at the top of Fortress Ridge for a stunning 2-hour ridgeline guided hike. Take in the expansive 360-degree views of towering cliffs, wildflower meadows and pristine mountain lakes. Next shuttle to a secluded small alpine lake to explore surrounding larch forests in the shadow of towering rock walls above.
