Hamilton Phlox Loop

14.8 miles of hiking • 4000' elevation gain •

Super fun loop. We headed north from the Hamilton Saddle and continued up out of the park on a brushy abandoned road. We hit a gravel road and took it west until it looped south and when we were directly below Phlox Point on the east side did a short 250' off trail to the top. Steep and super brushy but very short. Fat fluffy snowflakes were blowing all around and the avalanche lilies were starting to bloom. We headed down and took one more off-trail from the Equestrian back over to the Hamilton area and headed home after a very satisfying day.
