On May 16, 2018 from the Lumpy Ridge parking area, we hiked to the summit of Dark Mountain, about 4.4 miles away, and an altitude gain of 10877-7876 = 3001 feet. The view at the top is a spectacular panorama as you can see on the video.
Some of the landmarks you can see on the summit video are: Signal Mtn, Mt Dickinson-Dunraven Ridge, Mummy Mtn, Hagues Peak, Mt Fairchild, Ypsilon Mtn, Chiquita Mtn, Mt Chapin, Bighorn Mtn, Trail Ridge Road, Longs Peak, and Twin Sisters. At the end, we zoom in on Mummy Mtn, Hagues Peak, Mt Fairchild, Ypsilon Mtn, and Chiquita Mtn.
