Took the Azalea Loop Trail starting out from the campgrounds.  The trails had some snow and ice at the bottom but were easy to navigate.  The upper trails had heavy ice over the trail and frozen snow which made climbing a little challenging but using poles made it possible with some extra effort.  The views from the trail was awesome.  The peak was quite icy with a lot of dropping ice balls.  Finding the peak marker was slightly challenging due to the trees being weighed down with the icy.  The return trip down the road was uneventful but slightly boring compared to the awesome trail uphill using Azalea and Conejos Trails.  Awesome hike and #3 Peak has been captured!  Bummer that I couldn’t take my doggos on the trails but all of the ice would of been a little difficult to climb some of the sections of the trails.
