From the Horn Creek TH the first 3.5 miles or so was on the Rainbow Trail. Once we left the trail we headed up through the trees and did some bush whacking and hiking on trail segments until we broke treeline on Colony Baldy's east ridge. From there the hiking was moderate on high alpine meadows all the way to the summit with a few false summits along the way. The summit rewarded us with incredible views of Crestones, Humboldt, Kit Carson etc.
