We hiked up to the junction of New Army Pass Split and continued on to the Cottonwood Lakes trail towards Army Pass and seen a couple of pretty lakes along the way.
The last lake before the Army pass is Cottonwood Lake #4
My favorite part was the pass and the cool rock formations of the shelf leading up to the ridge.
From the trail below you cannot see the faint use trail until you start to climb up this really cool pass!
Approaching the final stretch to the top of the pass.
A little snow patch
After climbing up there is a never ending, long stretch of flat trail on the way towards Mt. Langley, which is very refreshing until you start to ascend another steep climb up to the peak.
There are alot of HUGE cairins along the route but trust me you cannot get lost! There are several approaches to climbing up as the faint trail seems to disappear in a few spots however there are also a few small cairins to guide you along the way
Approaching the final stretch.
Whoooohooooo Finally bagged this baby!
awww the beautiful BM too bad it doesn't say Mt. Langley
Views from the Mt. Langley
I've read that Mt. Langley was the easy 14er, however. being my first 14er I would not agree. From the start of this trail, it had its ups and downs, but overall, it was a beautiful long day!
