Wearer of many hats at The Outbound Collective. I'm @kylefrost pretty much everywhere.

Definitely get out here for sunrise if you want a calmer experience. You’ll be fighting crowds most other times of the day. Still, a spectacular view regardless of the tourists.

Pretty cool hike. Quick up and down if you're in shape. The chain section adds a bit of fun to the final stretch of the hike, although it doesn't feel particularly exposed at any point (IMO). Definitely be prepared to be in a traffic jam if you go during the day. Fantastic view from the top!

It's a steep climb up to the hut, but man are the views worth it. With Mt. Armstrong just above and Mt. Brewster dominating the nearby skyline, you'll be in for a treat. A+ sunsets. Definitely at least go up to the summit of Armstrong, such an incredible view of the Southern Alps.
