Hiking Mount Princeton near Buena Vista, Colorado

We hiked up Mount Princeton in late October 2023 several days before the first big snowfall of the season. When dry, this is a very easy trail, though the constant talus from tree line to the summit gets old fast.
Mount Princeton is the 19th-highest mountain in Colorado, located in the San Isabel National Forest near Buena Vista, which is about 25 minutes south of Leadville.
