As one of the other reports mentioned, the numbers really drop off once you pass Frozen Lake. We started up the Burroughs Mtn trail, but didn't feel like traversing the steep snow slopes with my 7-month-old son on my back. We turned around and set our sights on Skyscraper Mountain instead. The trail from Frozen Lake is lovely as it passes through alpine meadows. At the pass we left the trail and hiked the last 300 feet to the summit on a well-defined path. We passed four others coming down near the top and had a solo hiker join us while we enjoyed the views. My son did great on this hike and seemed to enjoy the views from the top. The insects were minimal, though the sun was pretty intense. We'll definitely head back for more alpine meadow hiking later this year.
