We started the hike for Mt. Pinos from Chula Vista Campground. We walked away from the trail in the beginning (which we later termed  as our “warm-up”????). The hike did have snow intermittently. It was pretty slushy and our ankles were sinking in some places. It was not too bad but it did slow us down a bit.

The hike is not very clearly marked so we had to check if we were on the trail every once in a while. (We used All trails app for it.)

The views from top are beautiful though it was a hazy day. We ended our hike by getting an amazing lunch and coffee at Black Coffee Draft House.

It was great half day hike with the perfect weather.
