(just read) Three quick hikes near Barlow Pass
Climbers talk about "bagging" peaks and sometimes hold friendly competitions to see how many they can climb in a single day. If you are not a climber but are competitive, you can "bag" three short hikes in the Monte Cristo area and have time to enjoy them.
If you complete all three, you will have hiked less than 10 miles, with less than 1,000 feet elevation gain. Each hike has something special to offer and
all are easy.
